Google loves to give grants to nonprofits! But every now and again, we need to make sure you are in fact still a registered nonprofit, and that your AdWords account is compliant with Google Grants guidelines. Our Google Grants renewal policy will require Google Grantees who have been in the program longer than six months to submit updated nonprofit status documentation, along with their AdWords Customer ID, for review. Google Grants will continue to be available, and we'll likely request you renew your eligible status every year going forward.
What Next?
You don’t have to do anything yet! We wanted to give you a heads up that the renewal policy is coming so that you can have your nonprofit status documentation ready and you can review the Google Grants guidelines to ensure your AdWords account is compliant. We plan to launch the renewal policy in July 2013. We will provide a three week window for Google Grantees to submit a renewal form at that time, so please be on the lookout for an email in July.
New URL Policy
We recently sent an email announcing a change to our URL policy. Google Grantees are now only allowed to advertise the one URL associated with the registered nonprofit listed in their original application. Please remove extra URLs from your account before the renewal policy to avoid suspension from the program.
Please refer to the renewal FAQs on the what, why, when and how of the renewal policy.
Sincerely,
The Google Grants Team
