Google Ad Grants specialists for NGOs. Access to $10,000/month in free advertising + campaigns optimized for donations and volunteers.

Non-profit marketing, in Romania and internationally, requires a different approach from commercial marketing. At DAFE Digital we specialize in digital advertising services for NGOs, with a focus on the Google Ad Grants programme that offers up to $10,000 per month in free Google Ads advertising.

Our strategies include application and approval for Google Ad Grants, campaigns optimized for generating donations and volunteers, Meta Ads campaigns for brand awareness, continuous performance optimization and detailed reports that demonstrate the real impact of campaigns on your organisation's mission.

We work with NGOs in various fields: environment, education, health, children's protection, human rights and more. Every campaign is tailored to reflect your organisation's values and goals while complying with Google Ad Grants programme rules.

What is the Google Ad Grants programme for NGOs?

In short: Google gives you up to $10,000 per month in free advertising through the Google Ad Grants programme. Yes, you read that right — it's a real, monthly budget you can use to make your organisation visible in Google results, exactly when people search for causes, projects or volunteering opportunities like yours.

The aim of the programme is simple: to help NGOs reach more people who believe in their mission. Whether you want to attract donors, volunteers or promote your organisation's initiatives, Google Ad Grants can become an extremely valuable tool — especially when campaigns are managed correctly.

What are the Google Ad Grants requirements?

To access the Google Ad Grants programme, your organisation must meet these 3 essential requirements:

Mandatory requirements for Google Ad Grants

1

Be an eligible nonprofit organisation

2

Have a high-quality website that complies with Google policy

3

1. Requirements for your organisation

The first step is to check whether your organisation qualifies for the programme.

✅ You are eligible if your organisation is registered as:

  • Association
  • Foundation
  • Federation
  • Religious organisation
  • All organisations must operate with nonprofit status

❌ You are not eligible if your organisation is:

  • A government entity or organisation
  • A hospital or medical organisation (charitable branches are eligible)
  • A school, academic institution or university (philanthropic branches are eligible)

2. Your website – We have partners who can help

Your website must meet certain quality standards. If it doesn't, we connect you with specialists.

✅ What the website should include (we can connect you with specialists):

  • Substantial content about your organisation's mission and activities
  • Clear, accessible privacy policy
  • Up-to-date contact information (address, phone, email)
  • Working navigation without broken links
  • Responsive design that works on mobile devices
  • Fast, secure loading (HTTPS recommended)

❌ What your website should avoid:

  • Excessive advertising or commercial affiliate links
  • Duplicate content copied from other sites
  • Broken links or 404 pages
  • Only a single page with no substantial content
  • Intrusive pop-ups or malicious content
  • Misleading redirects or spam practices

💡 If your website doesn't meet these criteria, we have trusted partners who can help quickly and at affordable rates for NGOs.

3. Account management – We handle everything

These technical requirements may seem complicated, but we manage them fully for you.

✅ What we manage for you:

  • Keeping CTR above 5% through continuous optimization
  • Active monitoring and monthly reporting
  • Campaigns strictly relevant to your organisation's mission

Why is digital advertising important for NGOs?

You don't sell, you communicate.

In an NGO, marketing isn't commercial advertising — it's communicating your mission to people who share your values. Every message, campaign or article is a bridge between your organisation and those who can make a real difference.

Without promotion, good causes stay unknown.

Many NGOs fail to attract volunteers, donations or partnerships because they don't communicate enough about their work. A strong message, consistently shared online, turns a local project into a visible, relevant movement.

Digital is an opportunity, not a luxury.

Digital channels can bring 10x more exposure. With Google Ad Grants you can run visible campaigns every month at no cost, right where people search for causes like yours: on Google.

Visibility builds trust.

An NGO that communicates transparently, consistently and professionally becomes credible and respected. Digital advertising doesn't just bring traffic — it strengthens your image and positions your organisation as a trusted leader.

Think strategically, act consistently.

Success comes from coherent strategy, data and continuous optimization. We apply the same discipline to Google Ad Grants campaigns for NGOs — so every dollar from the grant generates real impact.

Real impact starts with consistent visibility.

Google Ad Grants is more than free advertising — it's a chance to put your mission in front of people who want to get involved. We help you turn that potential into action.

All these principles come together in one goal: to turn visibility into real, sustainable impact for your organisation.

Successful collaboration with measurable results

We started from zero with Adela on Google Ads and Meta Ads. After the initial discussion, she took care of all the setup and within a week we saw the first results. Sales grew steadily and demand became greater than we could deliver. A professional who gets the job done quietly – you don't see them but you definitely feel them in the sales figures.

Adaptive strategy with measurable results

Working with Adela started with a Meta Ads test. Although the first leads weren't ideal, she reacted quickly and proposed a strategic shift to Google and LinkedIn Ads – a decision that significantly optimized cost per lead and conversion. She professionally managed remarketing, contributing to a 15–20% increase in conversion rate. The most valuable part? She understood our specifics perfectly and worked proactively.
