Upcoming Class: Joining Google For Nonprofits and Applying for a Google Ad Grant

Join me October 29th at 2PM. I'll be presenting how to join Google for Nonprofits, as well as applying for a Google Ad Grant. Here's the description:


Google has a whole suite of tools and Apps for Nonprofits, including Google Adwords Grants which allow up to $10k per month in free advertising, but how to create the account and utilize the text only ads can be a challenge. 

In partnership with the Michigan Green Consortium, acting as first time applicants for a Google for NonProfits account, WasteWater Education 501(c)3 will be hosting a real time distance learning class to walk you through becoming a Google For Nonprofits account holder.


Our philosophy is simple - we're all connected, we all have the passion for our environment. Not to share would be unconscionable.


We will be using our Blackboard Collaborate Web Conferencing service so it's important that you check your system's ability to log in beforehand.

Google Grants is now Google Ad Grants

Google Grants changed its program name to Google Ad Grants.

Nothing else changed. Google has rebranded to clarify what their program offers to nonprofits, which is in-kind advertising through Google AdWords, Google’s online advertising tool. Hopefully, the new name will make it easier for nonprofits seeking in-kind advertising to find the Google Ad Grants program.

If you haven’t taken advantage of the program already, visit the Google Ad Grants page to apply. Nonprofits receive up to $10,000 per month in AdWords advertising to promote their missions and initiatives via text ads on Google.com.
