How to apply

  1. 1

    Review the eligibility requirements

    Confirm your organization is a registered charity in a country where Google for Nonprofits is available, and is not a government entity, a hospital or healthcare organization, or a school, academic institution or university.

  2. 2

    Find your nonprofit registration number or tax ID

    Verification is done by Goodstack, which checks both the organization and your affiliation with it, so have the registration or tax identifier and supporting documentation ready before you start.

  3. 3

    Request a Google for Nonprofits account

    Go to google.com/nonprofits and click Get started. If your organization already has an account, the flow takes you through requesting access to the existing one instead.

  4. 4

    Wait for verification

    Most requests are reviewed in 2 to 14 working days. Goodstack may contact you for more information or documentation before it can verify the organization.

  5. 5

    Activate each product separately

    Once verified, activate Google Workspace for Nonprofits, Google Ad Grants, the YouTube Nonprofit Program and Google Maps Platform credits one at a time. Which products are available depends on your country.
