$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.
Agree to the Google for Non-Profits Terms.
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.
