The Google Grants programme supports organisations sharing Google’s 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 registered charities, Google Grants provides free advertising on Google AdWords to charities seeking to inform and engage their constituents online.

Google Grants has given free AdWords advertising to hundreds of charitable groups whose missions range from animal welfare to literacy, from supporting homeless children to promoting HIV education.

As a result of this free advertising many charities have experienced an increase in the recruitment of volunteers and sponsorship.

Applications may be made at any time. For more information visit the google grants website (see link below).
