Running your Google Grant account is easy and works as your normal AdWords account, but there is a $ 2 (£1.60) CPC limit on the keywords you are interested to bid on. Another thing to note is that Non-profits can only run text ads on paid search but this is not an issue and is still highly effective. ![google adwords cpc limit for charities.png](http://info.whitehat-seo.co.uk/hubfs/ Whitehat-Blog/Google%20AdWords%20for%20Charities/google%20adwords%20cpc%20limit% 20for%20charities.png) These grants for charity organisations can be used to [advertise their awareness campaigns](https://info.whitehat-seo.co.uk/inbound-marketing-for-charities-and-non-profits), different initiatives, call for donations, free seminars, etc. What Google prohibits non-profits to advertise is any commercial activity, which may include items for purchase or promotion of a store. Your charity grant funding can’t be used in this way. In addition, non-profits must bid on related keywords only, and each keyword they bid on must have an explainable reason behind it. If your organisation is comfortable and happy with the rules set by Google, start the process of applying for grants for charities to market your non-profit and make PPC an essential part of your marketing strategy. 2. ### **_Choosing Keywords for PPC Campaign_** ![keywords for non-profit ppc campaigns.png](http://info.whitehat-seo.co.uk/hubfs/ Whitehat-Blog/Google%20AdWords%20for%20Charities/keywords%20for%20non-profit%20ppc% 20campaigns.png) Keyword choice is the first step when you apply for charity grants If you have never run a PPC campaign before or have only dealt with small charity grants, it might be difficult for you to understand how to make the best use of this marketing tool. When you accept Google’s scheme, all you need to concentrate on are the keywords. Start by researching the keywords your competitors are regularly bidding on, have a look at their ad copy to understand how they are advertising their non-profit to millions of people, note down the information and call to action that would make a PPC campaign successful and get you the clicks from the right people. These free ads on google are also being used by your competitors, so you can learn from their experience. You can search the keywords your competitors are bidding on using online tools. It will not only show you the keywords, but also notify you about the share they have of the market and the strategy they to adjust their PPC campaign according to prevalent market conditions. Instead of choosing the words you want to assess, you can simply view the whole market and uncover numerous keywords you never would have imagined had the potential of getting your competitors a good amount of traffic. ![google trends and non-profits.jpg](http://info.whitehat-seo.co.uk/hubfs/Whitehat- Blog/Google%20AdWords%20for%20Charities/google%20trends%20and%20non-profits.jpg) Use Google trends to select the right keyword to use with your grants for nonprofits Google Trends is a free tool that will tell you what people are searching for so that you can assess the amount of traffic you might receive on your website if you [choose the right keywords](https://blog.whitehat-seo.co.uk/info-articles/professional-ppc-agency-steer-ppc-pitfalls/). 3. **_Crafting a Message that Leaves an Impact _****_on Your Audience_** Google allows their grant for nonprofits to use a maximum bid of only $2 (£1.60), which is why it needs to have a good quality score. This means that it is necessary to make your ad copy as meaningful, effective and relevant as possible if you want to get ahead of competitors. ![non-profit message with impact.png](http://info.whitehat-seo.co.uk/hubfs/Whitehat- Blog/Google%20AdWords%20for%20Charities/non-profit%20message%20with%20impact.png) Make sure your google grants for charity are having a big impact According to a research conducted by Strategy Refresh and The ATO Co, it was revealed that top 20 charities in the United Kingdom have been wasting over 25% of their non profit grants by taking ad copy lightly and making bad decisions in the management of the ads. ![low-quality non-profit score.png](http://info.whitehat-seo.co.uk/hubfs/Whitehat- Blog/Google%20AdWords%20for%20Charities/low-quality%20non-profit%20score.png) Grants for non profit organizations need to have a high quality score When a non-profit has a low-quality score due to their bad copy, these non-profits, as a result, push prices way outside their allocated budget – that is Google’s $ 2, which is the maximum budget for grants for nonprofit organizations using the [Google Ad Grants programme](https://info.whitehat-seo.co.uk/google-grants-for-charities-10-tips). At the time of creating ad for your non-profit, concentrate on the message. What makes your ad campaign or charity unique? Why should people donate their money to your charity rather than going for your competitor? Make sure when you craft your marketing copy you include at least one relevant keyword. It is best not to go overboard with keywords in your ad, which is also called keyword stuffing, as it will not have the same impact on your audience. If you are promoting a particular campaign, your charity ad must match your landing page. ![keyword stuffing and charities.png](http://info.whitehat-seo.co.uk/hubfs/Whitehat- Blog/Google%20AdWords%20for%20Charities/keyword%20stuffing%20and%20charities.png) Grant opportunities for nonprofits can be damaged by poor quality management Before launching your ad campaign, do an experiment: Start by creating three distinct ads for each of the keywords you have picked up and observe which one attracts more clicks for your free grants money. Before publishing your ad, make sure the copy is neat, straight and grammatically correct. It should not include common mistakes like capitalised words, extra spaces or unclear URLs. ![message with impact for non-profits.jpg](http://info.whitehat-seo.co.uk/hubfs/ Whitehat-Blog/Google%20AdWords%20for%20Charities/message%20with%20impact%20for%20non- profits.jpg) Choose a high impact message for your not for profit grants campaigns Make use of [Calls-To-Action (CTAs)](https://blog.whitehat-seo.co.uk/inbound-marketing-convert-calls-to-action) to ensure that [your target audience](https://blog.whitehat-seo.co.uk/make-or-break-your-inbound-marketing-practice-with-these-tips), who are searching for your keyword, will click on your ad first before the one of your competitor. 4. ### **_Spread Your Campaign Across Devices_** 5.   ![PPC campaign fund raising.jpg](http://info.whitehat-seo.co.uk/hubfs/Whitehat-Blog/ Google%20AdWords%20for%20Charities/PPC%20campaign%20fund%20raising.jpg) Non for profit grants can be used for fund raising for your charity Do not limit your PPC campaign to desktop users, because [mobile donations are quite popular and becoming important to fund charity campaigns](https://blog.whitehat-seo.co.uk/infrographics/infographic-mobile-responsive-web-design-leads-sales/). Charities across the globe are embracing all online platforms so that they stay current and adapt themselves to the changes their target audience is in tune with. Non-profits and charity organizations that do not embrace mobile or online payments and only focus on traditional on-ground fund raising campaigns limit their potential for fundraising which often restricts future growth. Grants for non profit can and should be used for mobile campaigns. ![charity campaign across devices.jpg](http://info.whitehat-seo.co.uk/hubfs/Whitehat- Blog/Google%20AdWords%20for%20Charities/charity%20campaign%20across%20devices.jpg) Finding grants for nonprofits is easy, make sure you make the most of all the options Make sure it is easy for mobile users to find your charity when they search for the keyword.
