Google Grants – Fress AdWords Advertising For Chariable Organizations
Google Grants is a unique in-kind donation program awarding free AdWords advertising to select charitable organizations. We support organizations sharing our philosophy of community service to help the world in areas such as science and technology, education, global public health, the environment, youth advocacy, and the arts.
The Google Grants program empowers over 4,000 organizations to achieve their goals by helping them promote their websites via advertising on Google.
Organizations that receive a Google Grant are awarded an in-kind online advertising account which can be used it in a variety of ways, including general outreach, fund-raising activities, and recruitment of volunteers.
The US Fund for UNICEF’s e-commerce site, Shop UNICEF, experienced a 43 percent increase in sales over the previous year, while CoachArt – supporting children with life-threatening illnesses through art and athletics programs – has seen a 60 to 70 percent increase in volunteers.
