Google Grants turns 6!
April 1st, 2009 | Published in Google Grants | 1 Comment
On our last birthday, we took you on a little trip down memory lane and shared the history of Google Grants. This year we'd like to take this opportunity to share our vision for the future of Grants, and how you can become more closely connected with the program and your peers.
In the last year we redesigned our website as the first step in this direction. The new site illustrates how we are working to make the program more valuable and accessible to non-profits and grantees.
With our grantee base growing at a steady pace and more applications coming in every day, we're focused on improving your experience with AdWords and Grants regardless of the size of the program. We're developing more educational resources, building out our Help Center, posting to this blog and hosting an active discussion forum so that you can get the information you need from a variety of sources at any time of the day.
No more waiting on an email when all you want to know is how to apply for a grant or link to your accounts.
As we step into our 7th year, we invite you to join us in developing the program by discussing your experiences, asking questions and perhaps sharing the way you find success with Google Grants.
We look forward to sharing the future of Google Grants with you and hope that you'll join us in blazing this trail together.

Hi Jessica,
I noticed you work on the Google Grant’s project. I could not find answers online or via phoning Toronto and Waterloo offices as it is all automated.
For the Canadian Application, the first question is” My organization is both registered under the Canada Income Tax Act, able to issue charitable receipts to donors, exempt from income tax and accrues no more than 50% earned annual revenue.”
Is there was a middle ground for qualifying Canadian Organisations? we are a non-profit organization incorporated without share capital. For tax purposes, we are a designated non profit organization that is exempt from tax under section 149 (1) (l) of the Income Tax Act. Our organization is currently funding by the Canadian Federal Government (Health Canada).
Under your current criteria we do not qualify. Will Google Grants be opening up to other non-profits such as ours?
I know this blog post is old, but your new blog does not allow for commenting for me to ask a question. I hope you receive a notice about this
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks,
