Why Your Nonprofit Needs More Than Just a Google Grant—You Need a Strategy

Can We Spend the Full $10K? Yes. But That’s Not the Real Question.

One of the first things nonprofits ask is, “Can you actually spend the full $10,000?” The answer is yes—but that’s only half the story.

Most organizations struggle to use their full Google Grant allowance, not because they don’t want to, but because of Google’s many restrictions. 9 out of 10 nonprofits fail to spend their grant on their own.

That’s where we come in. Yes, we’ll make sure you spend your free ad credits—but more importantly, we’ll make sure that money drives impact.

The Google Grant Is Just a Tool—Without a Strategy.

We don’t just run ads. We create a customized strategy that aligns with your organization’s most significant goals—increasing donations, growing your volunteer base, driving awareness, supporting a grant process, bringing in new participants, driving signatures, etc.

Because here’s the thing about the Google Grant: It comes with rules, restrictions, and hidden workarounds. You often hear, “No, you can’t do that.” But actually, you can—if you know how. And because of that, most nonprofits struggle to turn these free ad credits into real impact.

We’ve spent years refining a data-backed formula that maximizes every dollar of your grant. And the proof is in the results.

What Working With Us Looks Like

We start with a 30-minute strategy session—no fluff, just a clear breakdown of how we’ll align your grant with your mission.

Our pricing is structured for long-term impact. Our Google Grant management fees are intentionally low—so low, in fact, that we don’t break even on the project until about month eight.

That’s why we require a year-long contract. The real value of the Google Grant is unlocked over time, and we’re in it for sustainable impact, not quick wins.
