To ensure a reliable and safe advertising ecosystem and comply with new regulations, Google requires advertisers, including nonprofits, to participate in the Advertiser Verification Program. This process involves several steps where advertisers must provide basic information about their nonprofit and its identity.

Once verified, Google will display your nonprofit’s name, geographic location, and ads in the Ads Transparency Center. The goal of this verification is to promote advertising transparency for both advertisers and consumers.

How to complete advertiser verification?

Google will notify advertisers via an account notification and/or email when they are selected to participate in the advertiser verification program. A Google Ads or Google Ad Grants account administrator will have 30 days to complete all steps of the verification process. If the process is not completed or the required conditions are not met within the given timeframe, the advertising account will be put on hold. If you proactively complete the verification, no deadline will be imposed.

Step 1: About your organization
Google vous posera des questions de base sur votre OSBL.</p>
<p>Selon vos réponses, vous pourrez être dirigé vers les prochaines étapes. Les étapes obligatoires pour votre OSBL s'afficheront sous «Votre état», sur la page «Validation des annonceurs».
Step 4: Verifying your affiliation with the organization
Once your organization is verified, you may need to confirm your affiliation with the nonprofit. As an authorized representative, this step involves validating your professional email address to establish your connection with the verified nonprofit.
Step 3: Verifying business activities
If you have business activities, Google may ask for supporting documents to validate them.
Step 2: Verifying your identity
Google will ask you to confirm the legal name of your nonprofit. This name, along with your geographic location, will be displayed on all ads run by your organization.
