**Google has expanded its nonprofit programme, by which it helps charities and nonprofits
in several countries to make the most of some of its products and tools. It has 
also simplified the registration process to cover all of the opportunities with 
a single registration.**

The programme offers:

## Advertisement

* up to $10,000 a month in advertising on Google AdWords to reach more donors or
supporters

* free or discounted Google Apps “to cut IT costs and operate more efficiently”

* premium features for YouTube and Google Mapping to raise awareness of causes.

The single registration means that organisation will no longer have to apply separately
for [Google Grants](https://fundraising.co.uk/2016/11/15/google-grants-for-charities/),
the YouTube Nonprofits programme, and other elements.

Elements of the programme, such as the AdWords and YouTube programmes, have been
available to UK charities for several years. But the revamped Google Nonprofits 
programme is not yet available to UK charities.

Google will also be offering more educational videos and case studies to help organisations
make the most of its tools. It has also created a [Nonprofits Marketplace](http://www.google.com/nonprofits/marketplace)
which lists agencies and partners that offer training or consulting in these tools
for free or at discounted rates for charities. These firms are already certified
partners from existing Google marketplaces—like AdWords Authorised Resellers, Analytics
Certified Partners, Google Apps Marketplace and the Google Earth Outreach Developer
Marketplace.

The [Google for Nonprofits blog](http://googlefornonprofits.blogspot.com/2011/03/youre-changing-world-we-want-to-help.html)
cites examples of nonprofits that have achieved impressive results using its tools.

These include [Direct Relief International which raised more than $1,000,000 with AdWords](http://www.youtube.com/googlefornonprofits#p/a/u/2/szpuabuEo7Q),
the [Natural Resource Defense Council which attracted over 100,000 views on their YouTube videos](http://www.youtube.com/NRDCFlix )
at the time of the BP oil spill last year, and [Samasource’s success in saving tens of thousands of dollars using Google Apps](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=keLEiKB7UO8).
