The Google Ad Grants opportunity
Up to $10,000/month.
Built around your mission.
Google Ad Grants gives approved non-profits an in-kind advertising budget for text ads on Google Search. Your organization can reach people as they search for topics related to your cause.
What makes the opportunity work
- Relevant searches tied to your mission, programs, and location.
- A useful, secure website with clear supporter actions.
- Conversion tracking for donations, signups, or inquiries.
- Ongoing campaign management and policy compliance.
The budget is a maximum, not a guaranteed monthly spend. Unused credit does not roll over, and results depend on your campaigns, website, and search demand. See Google’s official FAQ.

Special non-profit pricing
A plan that fits your mission and your team.
501(c)(3) organizations are eligible for Xplore’s special non-profit pricing. Request a tailored quote based on your website, reporting, content, and campaign needs.
Before you apply
Does every 501(c)(3) organization qualify?
No. U.S. organizations generally need IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) status or qualifying group-exempt affiliation, verification through Google’s validation partner, and approval for Google for Non-profits. Government entities, hospitals or healthcare organizations, and schools or universities are generally excluded, although some associated charitable or philanthropic arms can qualify. Google’s website and program requirements also apply.
Is the $10,000 a cash grant?
No. It is up to $10,000 USD per month in in-kind Google Search advertising. It cannot be used as cash, to pay Xplore’s service fees, or to fund other advertising platforms.
Will we use the full amount every month?
Not necessarily. The grant is a budget limit. Actual spend depends on search demand, targeting, competition, and ad quality. Unused credit does not carry forward. We focus on relevant traffic and meaningful supporter actions.
Can Xplore help if we already have an Ad Grants account?
Start with a review of your account, website, and goals. We can recommend monitoring, optimization, conversion tracking, or website improvements, with the exact services and fees agreed before work begins.
