Pro bono

Expert help, pro bono.

Where we work pro bono.

Each program covers one kind of work, chosen where expert help goes furthest. Places are limited, and we select the organizations we take on.

    Google Ad Grants management

    For nonprofits already advertising with a Google Ad Grant, we manage the account: keeping it within the program’s rules, measuring what matters to the mission, and reaching more of the people they serve.

    Website management

    For nonprofits whose website needs steady care, we manage it: keeping it current and working well, measuring what visitors do, and making it simple to donate, volunteer, or get in touch.

Everything the grant account needs.

Our consultants guide the work and check it, AI agents do the analysis and the day-to-day work, and you approve every change.

  • Kept within the rules

    Click-through rate, conversion tracking, and account quality are checked every month, so the grant stays active.

  • Results that matter

    Conversions set around your mission: donations, sign-ups, volunteers, or people reading and learning.

  • An account built to grow

    Campaigns organized around what people are searching for, in each language you serve.

  • Ads written and tested

    Mission-led ad copy, drafted for your approval and measured against what ran before.

  • More of the grant at work

    Spending paced against the monthly grant, so more of it goes to work while the cost of each result falls.

  • A clear monthly review

    What changed, what it achieved, and what comes next, written for your team and your board.

From application to a grant at work.

Apply

Apply for pro bono help.

Places in each program are limited, and we select the organizations we take on. Tell us about yours and the program you are applying for, and we will let you know if we can offer you a place.

Who the Google Ad Grants program is for

  • A registered nonprofit or charity
  • Already in Google Ad Grants
  • Campaigns running on the grant
  • Someone who can approve changes

Probably not a fit

  • Nonprofits not yet in Google Ad Grants, or still applying
  • A grant account with no campaigns running

Meeting these criteria does not guarantee a place. Aptic selects organizations at its own discretion and may change, pause, or end a program at any time.

Straight answers

Common questions.

Is the work really pro bono?

Yes. For the organizations we select, Aptic does the work the program covers pro bono, for as long as the program and their place in it continue.

How do you choose which organizations to take on?

At our own discretion. We consider fit with the program, how much our work could add, and our capacity at the time. We cannot accept every application, we may not give a reason for a decision, and we may change, pause, or end a program, or an organization’s place in it, at any time.

Do we keep our Google Ads account?

Yes. Aptic works in the account you own, with access you grant and can withdraw at any time.

Do we need the grant already?

Yes. The program is for nonprofits already in Google Ad Grants and advertising with it: we manage campaigns that are running, not the application for the grant.

Who approves changes?

You do. Every change is proposed with its reasoning and made once you approve it.

Can Aptic help beyond the program?

Each program covers its own work. If you want help across your organization, as Nydus Foundation did, tell us when you apply.
