This week, we present something unique - our very own Grant Hensel recently presented a webinar on maximizing the value of the Google Ad Grant for your nonprofit that was hosted by our friends at Donorbox, which you can also hear in this week's episode. There was too much vital information to pass up in this one hour, so we are thrilled to bring it to you.We would like to give a special shoutout to Donorbox, a donation platform that can be set up quickly and easily on your website OR on a Donorbox-hosted Fundraising Page. They've worked with more than 35,000 organizations around the world, helping them increase their donations by providing an excellent donation experience. Best of all, there's no setup fee, no monthly fee and no contract required to start using Donorbox, so visit www.donorbox.org to sign up today!
Before we dive in today, we've got two questions for listeners: "Have you ever heard of the Google Ad Grant?" and "Would it positively impact your nonprofit if you could reach more people searching the internet?" Those are the two questions that Nonprofit Megaphone CEO Grant Hensel asked hundreds of nonprofits in 2016.It's kind of a trick question! Grant explains that the answer to the second question IS the first question, but when 75% of the nonprofits he spoke with had never heard of the Google Ad Grant, that obvious disconnect became the catalyst he needed to build Nonprofit Megaphone, a marketing agency focused solely on helping nonprofits get, use, and optimize Google Ad Grants.So settle in and listen in to a true master at his craft. Grant will explain what a Google Ad Grant is, at what stage of growth your nonprofit should begin focusing on the grant, and how to identify opportunities that can function as a contributor to your cause as well as a revenue driver—and potentially even a source of long-term support for your nonprofit.Finally, the bottom line is that Google Ad Grants are about the outcome, not the spend, and Nonprofit Megaphone has the experts to maximize that outcome as well as the data to back up their work.

“Safer at Home” ordinances and social distancing guidelines have caused an increase in people searching online for ways to support the causes they care about most, so it’s super important for your nonprofit to show up in Google results. This week on the Nonprofit Jenni Show, we talk about two ways to ensure new supporters can find you: the Google Ad Grant and Search Engine Optimization (SEO). After talking about SEO on the podcast last week, Jenni wanted to address some questions about the differences between the Google Ad Grant and SEO. She invites Grant Hensel, Founder and CEO of Nonprofit Megaphone, to answer common questions about how the Google Ad Grant works for nonprofits, including: --How can nonprofits use the Google Ad Grant to get donations, volunteers, and other types of support?--What components does a nonprofit website need before it makes sense to get the Google Ad Grant?--Does the Google Ad Grant impact your SEO, or vice versa? Jenni also gives a personal life update that impacts her work. Nonprofit Megaphone can help your nonprofit get the Google Ad Grant for free! They also offer support in managing the grant, creating Google Ads for your nonprofit, and targeting the right audiences with your ads.
