    Google Ad Grants for Nonprofits

    Get up to $120,000 USD per year ($10,000 USD/mo in free ad spend with Google Ad Grants, an incredible opportunity for nonprofits to increase visibility, attract donors, and expand their impact. The best part? Google covers the ad spend, so you only need to invest in expert management to make the most of it.

    Being Google Certified, I already work with nonprofits to create, optimize, and report on campaigns that drive real results. Instead of worrying about ad budgets, you get to work directly with me, someone who will take the time to understand your mission and craft tailored, strategic campaigns to maximize your reach.

    🚀 More exposure. More engagement. No ad spend. Just a clear, manageable investment in expert support.
