What is the Google Ad Grant?

The Google Ad Grant gives eligible 501(c)(3) nonprofits up to $10,000 per month in free Google Search advertising. Kinsey Street manages the entire program for you — eligibility, application, campaign builds, optimization, and Google's strict compliance rules — starting at $249/month with the first month free.

What we do

Full-service Ad Grants management, end to end

Every plan includes unlimited campaigns, ad groups, ads, and keywords. You get a specialist team — not a generalist agency squeezing your grant in between paid accounts.

Application & eligibility

We confirm your nonprofit qualifies, get you validated for Google for Nonprofits, and handle the Ad Grant application — free for management clients. Check if you qualify.

Campaign builds & optimization

Custom search campaigns mapped to your programs, donors, and volunteers — optimized continuously to spend more of your $10K and convert the clicks.

Compliance monitoring

Google's Ad Grants rules — the 5% CTR floor, keyword policies, conversion tracking — suspend thousands of accounts. We keep yours active — and reactivate suspended ones.

Weekly & monthly reporting

Plain-English reports every week and every month: what ran, what it cost the grant, and what it produced for your mission.

Geo targeting that fits your reach

Metro and Nielsen® DMA® targeting for local organizations, multi-state and national targeting for national nonprofits, and global targeting for international work.

Beyond the grant

Need Display, YouTube, or remarketing too? Ad Grants clients get 50% off our standard paid Google Ads management rates.

For Agencies

Outsource Ad Grants to a specialist. Keep the client.

Ad Grants accounts play by different rules than paid Google Ads — and non-compliance gets them suspended. If your agency serves nonprofits, hand the grant work to a Certified Professional Agency instead of learning those rules the hard way.

  • White-label or referral — your choice, your client relationship
  • We handle applications, builds, compliance, and reporting
  • Flat monthly pricing that's easy to mark up or pass through

FAQ

Google Ad Grants, answered

What is the Google Ad Grant?

The Google Ad Grant is a program that gives eligible nonprofits up to $10,000 per month in free Google Search advertising — up to $120,000 per year. Ads appear in Google search results and can drive donations, volunteer signups, event registrations, and program awareness at no media cost to your organization.

Which nonprofits qualify?

Most US 501(c)(3) organizations qualify after being validated for Google for Nonprofits. Hospitals and healthcare organizations, schools and academic institutions, and government entities are generally not eligible (philanthropic arms of schools often are). We'll confirm your eligibility and handle the application at no charge when you're a management client.

How much does Ad Grants management cost?

$249/month for small and local nonprofits, $499/month for national nonprofits, and $749/month for global nonprofits. Your first month is free, there are no setup fees, and there's no long-term contract — every plan includes unlimited campaigns, ads, and keywords plus weekly and monthly reporting.

Why do Ad Grants accounts get suspended — and can you fix ours?

Google enforces strict Ad Grants policies: a 5% minimum click-through rate, keyword quality rules, geo-targeting requirements, and conversion tracking standards. Accounts that fall out of compliance get paused or deactivated. We monitor compliance continuously for clients, and we regularly restore suspended or lapsed accounts for nonprofits that come to us after a suspension.

Can we run the Ad Grant and paid Google Ads at the same time?

Yes. The grant runs in its own account, and many nonprofits pair it with a paid account for formats the grant doesn't cover — Display, YouTube, and remarketing. We manage both, and Ad Grants clients get 50% off our standard paid management rates.

How long until we see results?

New or rebuilt accounts typically begin serving ads within one to two weeks. Meaningful traffic and conversion data builds over the first 30–90 days as we optimize — which is exactly why we make your first month of management free.

Do you offer white-label Ad Grants management for agencies?

Yes. Agencies that serve nonprofits can outsource Ad Grants management to us — white-label under your brand or as a referred specialist. You keep the client relationship; we handle applications, builds, optimization, compliance, and reporting.

Is Kinsey Street certified by Google?

Yes. Kinsey Street is a Google Ad Grants Certified Professional Agency — a designation Google gives to a limited group of agencies that meet its standards for Ad Grants expertise, compliance, and client results.
