Could you get Google Ad Grants?

Google gives registered charities up to $10,000 a month (about £7,500) in free search advertising. It is for registered charities only. Community interest companies (CICs) are not eligible.

We are a registered charity (Charity Commission for England and Wales, OSCR or the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland), or HMRC recognises us as a charity.
We are not a community interest company, school, hospital, government body or business. These cannot join, even if they do charitable work.
We have our own website on our own domain, it loads securely (https) and it explains what we do.
We are happy to verify our charity status through Goodstack, the checking service Google uses.
Someone can look after the account each month. Google asks for a 5% click-through rate and at least one tracked conversion, such as a donation or sign-up.

Tick every box before you apply. If you are a CIC or business, the grants listed above are a better place to start.
