How to Optimize the Google Ad Grant - 301
We want to help you effectively manage the Google Ad Grant for Nonprofits. With this grant, you can spend up to $120,000 next year in Google’s advertising dollars, all to help you multiply your digital impact. We’ve seen plenty of nonprofits max the potential offered by Google, and have spent tens of millions of the house’s dollars in Google Ad Grant campaigns to help organizations get there. That’s more donations, more volunteers, and more change in the world, on Google’s dime.
Join Digital Strategist Whaler and Google Ads Certified Professional Rachel Clemens in this 6 week course to set your grant up for success and increase conversions month-over-month. Together, we will reconfigure your account to follow best practices, set up new campaigns and ad groups, and run at least one A/B test to find the messaging that resonates with your followers.

What's Online Blended Learning?
So what exactly is a online blended learning course? The course combines structured live events with online content. Learners will complete work independently, submit questions to our expert, and attend live events weekly. Live events will also address questions and highlight learners' work during the course.
Course content will be delivered via video recordings, checklists, handouts, and weekly live events. The live event sessions will be hosted by [subject area] expert [name]. She’ll answer all of your questions, give you feedback on homework as well as provide best practices, tips, and a few tricks. All live events will be recorded and accessible throughout and after the course.
