Is your nonprofit eligible for Google Ad Grants?

To be eligible for the Google Ad Grants program, US organizations must:

• Have current 501(c)(3) status, as assigned by the Internal Revenue Service, to be considered for the Google for Nonprofits program.
• Acknowledge and agree to the application’s required certifications regarding nondiscrimination and donation receipt and use.

To maintain eligibility in the Google Ad Grants program:

• Your ads must ONLY link to the ONE nonprofit website URL that was approved in the application.
• You are required to actively manage the AdWords account. Should you not log in to your account for 30 days, your account will be subject to pausing without notification.
• Your ads must reflect the mission of the approved nonprofit organization and your keywords must be relevant to the nonprofit’s programs and services.
• Strictly commercial advertising is not allowed through this program. If you intend to promote products or services, 100% of the sales and/or proceeds must support your program.
• Your Google ads cannot link to pages that are primarily links to other websites.
• Ads offering financial products (such as mortgages or credit cards) or those requesting car, boat or property donations and related keywords are not allowed.
• Your website cannot display Google AdSense ads or affiliate advertising links while participating in Google Ad Grants.

Ad Grantees found in violation of any of these guidelines are subject to removal from the program. Google reserves the right to grant or deny an organization’s application or participation at any time, for any reason, and to supplement or amend these eligibility guidelines at any time. Selections are made at Google’s sole discretion, and are not subject to external review.
