1.) Before you apply, make sure your nonprofit is based in a country where the Google Ad Grants is available, and that you comply with our other
eligibility
requirements.
2.) Assuming you’re eligible, you’ll need to apply for a Google for Nonprofits account. To do this, you'll need:
- A gmail account (new or current)
- EIN number
- Your official name (the one in your determination letter; if you’ve experienced a name change, please also provide this documentation)
- Your organization's address
- Type of impact (you'll fill this out in the application)
- 501c3 determination letter or similar document from the IRS/Department of Treasury (for TechSoup to verify; submit when TechSoup emails you)
- Cannot be a state level document nor a document downloaded from an online database such as the IRS or GuideStar.
3.) Once your Google for Nonprofits account is approved, submit the pre-qualification form found in the Ad Grants enrollment guide.
4.) After your pre-qualification form has been approved, you can move to Part 2 of the application process. Included there is a guide on how to link your Google Ads account and set up a few Ad Campaigns to be tested.
5.) Once you submit Part 2 of the google ad grant application and it is approved, you are all set with the google ad grant. From here, you can manage your ads on your Google Ads account.
