For your website<\/b><\/h2><\/h2><\/div>

Google Ad Grants requires compliance with several rules for your website. In most cases of rejection, these criteria are the ones that were not met.<\/span> Be sure to review them one by one to ensure your compliance. Our detailed explanations will help you fully understand each of these criteria : <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Your website must be accessible worldwide<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

Your nonprofit must own the domain associated with your website, which is where users are redirected when they click on your ads. <\/span><\/p>\n

\n

What to do if your nonprofit has multiple websites?<\/b> The parent entity (the website using your nonprofit organization\u2019s domain name) must apply for the Google Ad Grants first. Once approved, you can request to add the other websites within your group to your grant.<\/a><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Your website must be accessible worldwide<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
Your site must be globally accessible during the application process, as checks are often performed outside your country. Your web developer may need to adjust the \u201chtaccess\u201d file to temporarily remove geographic restrictions for verification. <\/span><\/p>\n
\n

Best practice:<\/b> We recommend, however, that you reactivate the security once the application is completed. By excluding certain geographical regions not targeted by your services, you reduce the chances of being hacked. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Clearly present your organization and its mission<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

Google must be able to easily understand who your organization is, what its mission is, what it does, and who it serves.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Your website should therefore provide clear, accurate, up-to-date information that is specific to your organization. <\/strong>Content that is too general, incomplete, or does not clearly explain your work may negatively impact your Google Ad Grants application. <\/p>\n

1. Clearly Present Your Mission.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Your website should allow a new visitor to quickly understand:<\/p>\n
