FREE: GOOGLE AD GRANTS COMPLIANCE CONSULTATION
It’s not unusual to get a compliance citation from Google requiring a correction of some issue within 30 days or risk losing Google Ad Grants. If you don’t understand the notice or are not sure how to correct it, we can help guide you on the right track.
NOTES:
This is a free service.
Even if you request this immediately after you receive a compliance citation, you may still lose your Google Ad Grants.
Although we will not be doing the corrective work for you, we will provide one-time friendly guidance.
It is your responsibility to get the corrections done and you may still lose your Google Ad Grants if the instructions are not fully and properly executed within Google’s time limit.
Furthermore, some nonprofits may find their Google Ad Grants are so far out of compliance that it may not be possible to make all corrections in time. In such cases, it may be better to start over from scratch, which might include making changes to your website, as well as your marketing goals and vision before reapplying for Google Ad Grants.

GOOGLE AD GRANTS MANAGEMENT
Managing Google Ad Grants requires ongoing labor. Following are highlights of how we’ll do that for you.

GOOGLE AD GRANTS COMPLIANCE MANAGEMENT
Compliance Management is included within our Google Ad Grants Management Service for no extra charge. However, it is featured separately here due to its importance and for those nonprofits that wish to manage their ads internally, but seek additional ongoing and independent expertise to monitor their ads (without touching them).
Here are some of the benefits:
- It’s our lowest-cost service
- It can provide potential warning prior to an official compliance warning
- Once a compliance citation is issued you will receive immediate corrective instructions (usually within 24-48 hours, depending upon the details of the citation).
Note: Some nonprofits run their Google Ad Grants just above Google’s monthly performance requirements, which means they may be routinely falling out of compliance over time. This is not a problem as long at the matter is corrected each time within 30 days. However, failing to timely correct compliance matters results in a loss of Google Ad Grants.
Google continually refines their ad platform. However, back in 2018 significant changes occurred with Google Ad Grants. They instituted new rules! Many nonprofits lost their Google Ad Grants due to noncompliance with the new rules and even today it’s easier than ever for the grants to be suspended.
However, we handle all that for you.
We cannot guarantee that there won’t be suspension notices, since that depends upon your specific campaigns. But we do guarantee that we’ll keep your account compliant. In fact, in most cases we will re-establish compliance before the suspension takes effect so your ads continue to run uninterrupted.

Let us help you leverage this incredible opportunity and build a community that fuels your organization’s success.

ONLINE FUNDRAISING
Good news and bad news here.
Here’s what doesn’t work: using Google Ad Grants to create text ads about donating to your nonprofit. This will create slim to no results and slim left town a long time ago.
Here’s what does work: using Google Ad Grants to build an engaged online community around your nonprofit story and then periodically asking for their support. There is a lot of labor involved. We have free training (see above) so that you can achieve results. You can also hire us to help guide you and/or do some of the work and/or do all of the work for you.
In addition to planning online and crowdfunding campaigns, this service includes day-to-day management of your resources to execute online fundraising and especially crowdfunding. And if you’ve already been down this road before, you are well informed that it’s a bunch of work with an uncertain outcome. We’ll lessen your burden and change the odds in your favor. For planning and execution purposes, consider a 5-month timeline for a 30-day fundraising campaign: 60-day planning; 30-day pre-launch campaign; 30-day primary campaign; 30-day post-launch campaign. For some nonprofits, contemplating a longer planning part of the timeline would be prudent.

AWARD-WINNING VIDEO/TV
We’re really not trying to keep it a secret, but if you don’t live in Southern California you may not be aware of our awards and mentions in newspapers and magazines regarding our TV and video productions through our parent company, Skyworks Marketing. Regardless of where your nonprofit is located in the world, you can benefit from our scripting, video editing, visual effects and extensive stock video libraries without coming to our studio. We also hire videographers around the world, so we can get stuff shot for you, if you don’t have access to local professionals.
If you are in Southern California, or plan on visiting, you are welcome to schedule some time with us. We have free and paid TV and video production services. For example, if you’d like to be a guest (no cost) on our weekly TV show, please schedule early, we are usually booked many weeks in advance. (See Our Ventura TV to get scheduled). For paid services, regardless of where you are located in the world, we have some very economical opportunities for nonprofits.

Need help unleashing the power of Google Ads for your nonprofit?
Whether your goal is reaching more supporters, volunteers, or donors – the Google Ad Grant program can benefit most nonprofits.

Nonprofit Fire can help your nonprofit unlock the true potential of this valuable program. With our expertise, you’ll more readily reach new audiences, amplify your mission, and make a bigger impact in the world.
Click “Contact” to find out more.
WEBSITE MANAGEMENT
Way before Nonprofit Fire was a twinkle in the eye of its founder, we developed websites from scratch (in the 90s). Then at the turn of the century, we gravitated to Content Management Systems and then we turned our focus to WordPress. All that means to you is we’ve got some experience. If you’re a nonprofit and you need a great website, the door is open.
Additionally, ask about our package pricing. You may be eligible for a reduced price, but these services are included for no extra cost:
- Landing Page Advisement
- Landing Page Creation
- Landing Page Testing
- Google Conversion Tracking
- Google Analytics Tracking
NEWSLETTER / DATABASE MANAGEMENT
Sure, we get it. You already have a newsletter (as you should!). How’s it working for you? Is it integrated with your Google Ad Grants and social media?
Although newsletters are not as effective as they used to be, they’re still a very economical way to build and nurture an online community to educate them about your nonprofit story.
- Need some support?
- Or want to have this elegantly integrated hand-in-glove with your Google Ad Grants advertising?
You’ve come to the right place. With Google Ad Grants we can massively increase your community.
CONTENT CREATION
Hopefully you’ve been developing articles, videos, courses, infographics, research papers, webinars, live events and other types of content pertinent to your stakeholders for a long time already. (Just kidding. Few small nonprofits can do all that). Ongoing content development is a potent way to keep informing the world and your community of your good work. And we’re here to support you. This is absolutely critical to community engagement and fundraising success. For more information, visit the “Community Nurturing” section of the Good and Bad of Google Ad Grants.
Building an engaging nonprofit online community around your story requires a lot of work and a lot of content.
- Need articles?
- Graphics?
- Videos?
- And more?
We’ve been doing this a long time and we would be honored to do it for you.
SOCIAL MEDIA AND FACEBOOK ADVERTISING
GOOD NEWS: Yay! Sometime in the past several years, your nonprofit made it to Facebook.
BAD NEWS: For many nonprofits, Facebook and social media, in general, are not very productive (there are exceptions). Using social media productively is analogous to having a phone on your camera. Everyone has one but not everyone is a good photographer. In other words, everyone can use social media but not all are capitalizing on it in a meaningful way.
PROBLEM: Part of the problem is that Facebook has changed since its early days. No longer are they showing your posts to the majority of your followers. Surprise! They want you to pay for that privilege. But to make things more interesting, paying here and there, for many, is a real-world intro to the results of amateur advertising: It’s rarely strategic or productive.
MORE GOOD NEWS: By integrating even a small social media budget with your existing Google Ad Grants, along with a professional, honest-to-God advertising strategy (who knew?), you can exponentially increase the power of your social media advertising, as well as the impact of your Google Ad Grants. It’s a giganticus whammy of goodness. Shoot us a message to find out more.
TRADITIONAL ADVERTISING
Want to magnify the reach of your Google Ad Grants with traditional paid advertising? We’re talking about direct mail, print, radio, TV, as well as all kinds of online advertising, etc. Oh my, do we have tons of experience in this area!
And it’s all the more powerful when used in conjunction with Google Ad Grants.
CROSS-PLATFORM REMARKETING
What is this?
It’s magic. It’s a gift of the Gods. It’s how the common man (and nonprofits) can level the playing field with big advertisers.
It’s how we can show ads, on other ad platforms, to people who visited your website but didn’t sign up for anything or make a purchase.
For example, after they visit your website we can show them ads on their favorite news or other sites that display ads.
It’s the single, greatest advertising opportunity available to small and medium-sized players.
If you learn nothing else from this website, realize that if you can correctly leverage a small ad budget, in parallel with your Google Ad Grants, you will gain extensively more than with any of these services by themselves. (It does need to be executed professionally).
