Updated: Mar 13

$10,000 Per Month in Google Advertising can help a charity organisation succeed



Google For Nonprofits is a program, which offers eligible organisations access to Google products and discounts that help solve the challenges nonprofits face.

With Google Ad Grants, nonprofits organisations get $10,000 every month to:

  • raise awareness

  • attract donors

  • recuit new volunteers

  • mobilise supporters


Step #1 - Make sure you are eligible


To be eligible for a Google for Non-profits account, an organisation must: Be registered as a charitable organisation in one of the listed countries. All organisations must be verified as a non-profit organisation by TechSoup or the local TechSoup partner.


Meet the requirements in its own country. Find your country in the list to review the requirements.




Step #2 - Meet the local requirements


Organisations must qualify as one of these:

  • charities

  • tax exempt non-profit organisations operating on a non-profit basis for the public benefit

  • federal not-for-profit corporations

  • provincial non-profits"Include quotes by experts in your post to add credibility."


In Canada, the organisations must be currently registered with TechSoup Canada, TechSoup Global's regional arm.


Step #3 - Apply for a TechSoup Validation Token


Validation tokens can only be created by the TechSoup Canada account holder and only issued to someone who is authorised to represent the non-profit.


Validation tokens expire after 60 days; it is best to create them only when they are needed.


Step #4 - Become TechSoup Verified

  • If you do not have a TechSoup Validation Token, then you must apply for one.

  • If your non-profit has not been validated by TechSoup Canada, you must first register.

The TechSoup Canada program is open to charities, libraries and non-profits incorporated under specific Acts of legislation.


Take three (3) quick steps to become TechSoup verified:

  1. Sign up as an individual

  2. Register your organisation

  3. Submit documents

If you are submitting a branch application, then enter the parent organisation’s name and separate your brand location with a hyphen.


Step #5 - Apply for Google Ad Grants


If you already have a Google for Non-profits account, then use the G4NP login email for the Google Ad Grant application. Else, use a Gmail address that is not yet associated with a Google Ad Grant account.


There are some website requirements that you must satisfy to complete the Google Ad Grants application.


Complete a list of questions about:

  • georgraphic focus

  • annual fundraising goals

  • annual marketing budget

  • marketing ang fundraising channels

After the form is submitted, the review typically takes 3 business days. If you are approved, then Google Ad Grants will be activated.
