Google has always been giving back to nonprofits, even before the coronavirus pandemic. But their offer of up to $10,000/month for in-kind AdWords advertising offered through the Google Ad Grants program could be even more vital for your nonprofit now more than ever.

Ads on SERPs are a powerful way to increase your nonprofit's awareness, which will lead to an increase in donations and event attendance.
The process has changed a little recently. So if you need help, reach out, we’d be happy to help get you set up for free during this time.
