Can You Manage the Google Ad Grant Yourself? Yes. Should You? Maybe Not.

If you’re a nonprofit, the Google Ad Grant is a powerful opportunity: up to $10,000 a month in free advertising to drive awareness, boost donations, promote events, and recruit volunteers. But once you’re approved, a common question arises:

Can we manage the Google Ad Grant ourselves?

The Short Answer: Yes.

Google allows nonprofits to manage the Ad Grant themselves. If you have someone on staff with experience in Google Ads, digital strategy, and analytics—and they have the time to manage it consistently—you may be able to get decent results on your own.

But managing a Google Ad Grant isn’t just about running ads. It involves:

• Complying with strict Google policies
• Building and maintaining campaigns that meet performance benchmarks
• Crafting compelling ad copy and landing pages
• Tracking conversions and adjusting strategy regularly

Which leads us to the next question…

Should You Manage It Yourself?

That depends on your team’s capacity and expertise. Many nonprofits start off trying to manage the grant internally—only to find it overwhelming, confusing, or time-consuming. Others never fully use the $10,000/month they’re eligible for simply because the account isn’t optimized.

Without proper management, the grant often goes underused or worse—gets deactivated.
