Google Launches Google Grants Blog
Posted on February 19, 2008
Google has added another blog to its growing list of corporate blogs. This blog called the Google Grants Blog helps charities learn how to make use of the Google Grants porgram. Google says its grants program has awarded AdWords advertising to hundreds of non-profit groups whose missions range from animal welfare to literacy, from supporting homeless children to promoting HIV education.
When we launched the Google Grants program, we set out to harness the power of Google search to support organizations that share our philosophy of community service. Through the in-kind advertising awarded to grant recipients, organizations have been able to reach a wider audience for free with their messages. Since our debut early in 2003, the number of grant recipients has grown steadily, and we're excited to help even more of your good causes make a bigger impact on the world.The charity ads will often show up on AdWords when Google does not have a targeted advertisement to show for a webpage.With more and more people looking for information and joining the program all the time, we want to make sure that we can answer your questions quickly and give you what you need to make your group more successful. So we're starting this blog as a place to read about the latest Google Grants news and information - whether you're a 501(c)(3) organization looking to join, or a current recipient who wants to learn how to make your campaigns more effective.
