Running a nonprofit means every dollar counts, and most of your budget goes straight to the cause, not marketing. But what if Google gave you US$10,000 a month in free advertising to promote your mission? That’s exactly what the Google Ad Grants program offers eligible charities. The catch? Managing it properly takes time and know-how most nonprofits don’t have in-house. At AGR Technology, we help charities and nonprofit organisations set up, manage, and get real results from their Google Ad Grants. Here’s how we can help you reach more people.

MRC Performance
I have been in business for over 10 Years and recently moved to AGR Technology for all our IT needs. They are able to fix nearly anything remotely and always very helpful in recommending appropriate hardware upgrades that do the job as required but not costing more than needed.
Alessio provided an excellent service. He was very dedicated in his method of finding solutions to problems. He continued to try different avenues until he found the reason as to why a particular application was not working. He was very knowledgeable in his understanding of the internet and of applications and how they work, and he was able to apply this knowledge in understanding how to resolve the obstacles that continued to appear. He is understanding towards his client's needs and goals and he is willing to work with his client in achieving those goals. He is a very polite and well mannered person and very calm and gentle in his approach. I would highly recommend Alessio's services to anyone.

Alessio from AGR Technology has recently helped me create a website for my business.
Throughout the whole process from start to finish Alessio made the process easy for me, by calling me and explaining each step of the way. I'm not very computer savvy, but with Alessio taking the time to explain in detail everything I needed to know from putting inventory in to having it shipped. He even remotely joined my computer to help guide me through everything.
He's very knowledgeable and is experienced in everything I needed and if there was anything else I needed to know that wasn't something he was familiar with, he researched it.
I would HIGHLY recommend Alessio to anyone. He has not only helped me for now but I know that if I ever needed help with anything else he would definitely go above and beyond to help. Thank you so much for everything you have done. It's been a long process but well worth it 🙂

I received AGR contact information from a previous client, who had found their service excellent. So I contacted AGR with some expectations, and I can say they exceeded them. Professional, honest, punctual, reliable, their service is faultless. We can't recommend them highly enough.
Very fast, value for money and a comprehensive service
AGR is professional, organised and very skilled at what they do. They take the initiative, looking after all the details that you would not have thought of to enhance your website presence, marketing funnel and automated appointment bookings. Big bonus - pricings are at a fraction of the cost of competitors.

Google Ad Grants Management for Charities and Nonprofits
The Google Ad Grants program gives approved nonprofits up to US$10,000 per month in free search advertising. That’s a big opportunity, but it comes with strict rules. Accounts that don’t meet Google’s requirements get suspended, and reactivating them can be a headache.
We’ve worked with organisations across different sectors, so we know how to keep your account healthy while actually driving results. Our management service covers the full picture, not just the setup.
Here’s what we handle for you:
- Eligibility and application support – checking your organisation qualifies and getting you registered through Google for Nonprofits.
- Account structure – building campaigns, ad groups, and keyword lists that meet Google’s requirements.
- Compliance monitoring – keeping your click-through rate above the 5% threshold and avoiding single-word or overly generic keywords.
- Ongoing optimisation – refining ads and bids so your budget goes further.
- Clear reporting – so you always know what your grant is achieving.
We treat your account like it’s our own. That means fewer suspensions, more qualified traffic, and a program that actually supports your mission rather than sitting idle.
Want to make the most of your grant? Get in touch with our team for a no-obligation chat about your goals.
Drive Targeted Traffic to Your Website with Google Ads Grant
Free advertising is only useful if it brings the right people to your site. A grant that sends random clicks to your homepage won’t help you sign up volunteers, collect donations, or fill event spots.
We focus on intent. That means targeting the specific searches people type when they’re looking for causes like yours, whether that’s “donate to youth mental health” or “volunteer with local food bank.” The goal is quality traffic that takes action, not just numbers on a dashboard.
Our approach to targeted traffic includes:
- Keyword research based on how your supporters actually search
- Location targeting so you reach people in the areas you serve
- Landing pages matched to each campaign’s message
- Conversion tracking tied to real goals like donations, sign-ups, and enquiries
When your ads, keywords, and landing pages line up, your grant works harder. We’ve seen nonprofits go from a barely-used account to a steady stream of relevant visitors within a few months.
What is a Google Ad Grant and How Does It Work?
A Google Ad Grant is Google’s donation of in-kind advertising to registered nonprofits. Instead of a cash grant, you get up to US$10,000 each month to spend on search ads that appear on Google results pages.
A few things to know about how it works:
- Ads run on a maximum US$2.00 cost-per-click (though certain conversion-based bidding strategies can go higher)
- Only text search ads are included, not display or video
- Your account must maintain at least a 5% click-through rate and keep active, well-structured campaigns
- You need to be registered with Google for Nonprofits and meet local eligibility rules
The grant renews monthly as long as you stay compliant. Unused budget doesn’t roll over, so consistent, active management is what separates nonprofits who benefit from those who lose the grant altogether.
We’ll audit your site and analytics and recommend and SEO strategy
Paid ads are one piece of the puzzle. To grow your reach long-term, your website and its organic search performance matter just as much. That’s where our audit comes in.
We review your site and analytics to find what’s working, what’s holding you back, and where the easy wins are. This isn’t a generic checklist. We look at your specific setup and give you practical steps you can act on.
Our audit covers:
- Technical SEO – site speed, mobile usability, indexing issues, and crawl errors
- On-page content – how well your pages match what supporters search for
- Analytics review – whether your tracking is set up correctly and telling the right story
- Opportunities – keywords and content gaps you can fill to grow organic traffic
By combining a well-run Google Ad Grant with a solid SEO foundation, you get both short-term visibility and long-term growth. One feeds the other.
As a full-service digital partner, we also help with custom software, marketing, and AI automation when your needs grow beyond search.
Performance Benchmarking + Goal Setting
You can’t improve what you don’t measure. Before we start, we set clear benchmarks so you know exactly where you stand and where you’re heading.
We help you define goals that matter to your mission, such as:
- Number of monthly donations or donation value
- Volunteer or newsletter sign-ups
- Event registrations
- Enquiries and contact form submissions
From there, we track progress against those benchmarks and adjust the strategy as we go. You’ll get straightforward reports, not jargon-filled dashboards you have to decode. This keeps everyone accountable and makes it easy to show your board or funders the real impact of your digital efforts.
Let’s Grow Your Mission Together
A Google Ad Grant is a genuine opportunity, but only if it’s managed well. With the right setup, targeted traffic, and a strong SEO foundation, your nonprofit can reach far more of the people who need you.
At AGR Technology, we handle the technical side so you can focus on your cause. Contact us today to get started with a free chat about your goals.
