[Google Grants](https://fundraising.co.uk/2016/11/15/google-grants-for-charities/),
the search engine’s first corporate philanthropy programme, was five years old last
month. The first recipient of its donated cost-per-click AdWords advertising account
began using it on 1 April 2003. Since then Google Grants has been extended to 15
more countries, including the UK. Currently over 4,000 organisations benefit from
free AdWords advertising.

To date, Google estimates these donated accounts have been worth $273.3 million.
