Google Grants BETA
Free advertising for non-profit organisations

The Google Grants UK beta programme supports organisations 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.

Designed for UK charities which meet our requirements and are registered with the Charity Commission of England and Wales, the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator or by the Inland Revenue, Google Grants is a unique free advertising programme. It harnesses the power of our flagship advertising product, Google AdWords, to non-profits seeking to inform and engage their constituents online. Google Grants has given AdWords advertising to hundreds of qualified non-profit groups whose missions range from animal welfare to literacy, from supporting homeless children to promoting HIV education.

Google Grant recipients use their award of free AdWords advertising on Google.co.uk to raise awareness and increase traffic. Three of our award recipients have achieved these results:


Room to Read, which educates children in Vietnam, Nepal, India and Cambodia, attracted a sponsor who clicked on its AdWords ad. He has donated funds to support the education of 25 girls for the next 10 years.
The US Fund for UNICEF's e-commerce site, Shop UNICEF, has experienced a 43 percent increase in sales over the previous year.
CoachArt, supporting children with life-threatening illnesses through art and athletics programs, has seen a 60 to 70 percent increase in volunteers.

Each organisation choosing to participate in Google Grants receives at least three months of free advertising.
