| Who is eligible |
The Google Grants programme supports organisations sharing our philosophy of community service, and with a strong mission to help the world in areas such as science and technology, education, global public health, the environment, youth advocacy, and the arts.
In the United Kingdom – Organisations must be based in the United Kingdom and registered with the Charity Commission of England and Wales, the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator or by the Inland Revenue to be considered for a Google Grant.
Other countries/regions – We are currently accepting applications from eligible charitable organisations based in these areas.
If your country/region isn't listed and you'd like to be notified via email should Google Grants launch in your country/region, please email googlegrants-updates@google.com with the text 'International Application Mailing List - <insert your country/region name>' in the subject line.
| Who is not eligible |
Organizations already participating in the Google AdSense programme are not eligible for Google Grants consideration. In addition, organisations that are either religious or political in nature are not eligible, including those groups focused primarily on lobbying for political or policy change.
Google reserves the right to award advertising to any organisation. Selections are made at Google's sole discretion, and decisions regarding award recipients are final.
| Requirements |
Google AdWords is an online, advertiser-managed programme. Should you be selected to receive a Google Grant, you (or your agent) should expect to commit time and effort into managing your campaigns.
Grantee responsibilities include understanding and adhering to the Programme Guidelines, logging in to the AdWords system and responding to emails and surveys. Ongoing participation in the programme may also include reporting your campaign results to Google, which we can assist you with.
| How to apply |
If your organisation is registered with the Charity Commission of England and Wales, the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator or by the Inland Revenue, and whose mission and programmes fit our eligibility requirements, we encourage you to apply.
Your application is more likely to be successful if you have a basic understanding of the Google AdWords programme and the Google Grants Programme Guidelines. You will be asked to provide sample keywords, ad copy and a brief statement about how your organisation will benefit from participating in the Google Grants programme.
When you submit your completed application online, the Google Grants committee (consisting of Google employees) is responsible for selecting award recipients. We will confirm your registration status, and review your application carefully.
Once we select award recipients, all applicants will receive email regarding the status of their application. Because of the high volume of interest in our programme, we are unable to respond to requests for information about the status of individual applications.
Please note: We select Google Grants recipients every quarter. You will know within six months or less whether or not you will receive a Google Grant award.
If your organisation is selected, you will receive an award notification via email with detailed instructions and information. Once your AdWords account has been activated, our Google Grants Specialists are available to answer questions and provide assistance via email.
