About marketing grants for nonprofits

Marketing grants for nonprofits provide funding or in-kind resources to help organizations promote their mission, reach new audiences, and strengthen communications — covering things like advertising, websites, branding, and digital outreach. Some take the form of cash grants, while others are donated advertising credits or discounted services. The aim is to amplify a nonprofit's visibility and impact rather than fund its core programs.

A long list is the starting point, not the shortlist. Our grant prospecting guide shows how to narrow marketing grants for nonprofits down to the funders most likely to say yes, using their giving records.

What is a marketing grant for nonprofits?

A marketing grant helps a nonprofit fund or obtain promotional and communications resources — advertising, website development, branding, content, or digital campaigns — to raise awareness, recruit supporters, and drive donations or program participation. Support can be cash, donated ad inventory or software, or discounted professional services.

Who offers marketing support to nonprofits?

A widely used program is the Google Ad Grants program, which gives eligible 501(c)(3) nonprofits a monthly allotment of Google Search advertising credits; nonprofits qualify through TechSoup and can get setup help from TechSoup and its partners. Beyond that, marketing support comes from technology companies offering free or discounted tools, corporate giving programs, advertising and media in-kind donations, and capacity-building grants from foundations.

How do nonprofits qualify for advertising grants like Google Ad Grants?

For Google Ad Grants, organizations generally must hold valid charity status (verified through TechSoup in the U.S.), enroll in Google for Nonprofits, agree to the program's policies, and maintain an active, compliant account with a functioning website. Other marketing and software grants set their own eligibility, but most require 501(c)(3) status and an application or verification step before resources are released.
