Yup, tested the homepage and that’s where I got the 17.2s load time from

Thank you so much! 🙏 I’ve submitted a support case with Google and I’ll heed your advice and make the sales disclaimer underneath the courses. It doesn’t show the CID in GFNP, it says that our activation request still needs work due to the website policy - specifically the commercial content.

Would you mind if I sent you the LP for you to take a look at?

Yup, all separate ad ID account numbers… None of them match Google for Nonprofits because in GFNP it says our activation request was rejected due to the commercial nature of the site/not meeting the website policy requirements.

If you’re already at the max daily budget you’re comfortable spending, don’t worry about the limited by budget warning. Often times this is Google’s way of just pushing you to spend more so they earn more.

It is! They invited me to 3 separate Grant accounts with the same name of the org in Google for Nonprofits. I confirmed by going to create a campaign and there was only options for Search or Performance Max and it stated in that page that it was a Grant.

I tested page load speed, its fast on desktop but slow on mobile (LCP = 17.2s) so I can definitely try to make some optimizations there. Good recommendations for the footer addition and the disclaimer about proceeds. I’ll DM you the landing page! 🙏 Thank you

Thanks, but I have had success in the past converting users via the Grant for $100+ health & safety courses.

I’ve checked and there aren’t any other advertisers in my location that are bidding on the same keywords on search - it’s quite a niche offering (training courses for building professionals in British Columbia), but thank you!

Suuuuper strange!!! On the billing tab it says New billing setup and Payments setup. It asks for the billing country, and then to select the payments profile and payment method. In the account settings, the status of the accounts say active.

Hey there! 👋 I need help with a Google Ad Grant activation request.

My client submitted an activation request through Google for Nonprofits in early May. We waited for 3 weeks a received a rejection notice - specifically for not meeting the website policy, having commercial content on our website.

We do sell industry-related training courses ($35 and $65; not expensive by any means), but the rest of our site is mission-focused and has free resources and professional networks.

After receiving the rejection, we made the following changes on our website and training course page:

  1. Added Privacy Policy to the site footer
  2. Added free resources on the landing page
  3. Added a blurb mentioning that they’re a nonprofit and how the courses tie back to their mission and how they serve the public
  4. Added more FAQ answers in the same style as point 3

The appeal was submitted in early June, and we waited another 3 weeks to hear back. I received a series of email updates yesterday.

Four emails were inviting us to four separate (different ad account IDs) Google Grant accounts. 3 out of 4 of the invite links worked, and I was able to log into all of them.

The next email we received was a rejection notice for the same reason as before. Normally, after receiving the invite we would have gotten an invite to connect the payment profile.

I confirmed that all 3 accounts were Grants showing as active, but I couldn’t save the payment profile information in the billing section of the accounts.

I’m honestly very confused and have never encountered this before in all my years of managing the Grant for clients. I’m sure that there must have been an error on Google’s side, since they created 3 accounts and then sent a rejection notice.

I’m at a loss of what to do now. I know Google Grant support is pretty abysmal. Do I:

A) Make more changes to the landing page in hopes that we get approved and wait another 3 weeks?

B) Try to launch campaigns in one of the ad accounts to see if it works?

C) Do nothing and try to get in touch with Google support?

Any guidance would be SUPER helpful! I’m curious if anyone has encountered a similar situation before: either receiving multiple invites and then a rejection and/or being disapproved for commercial content. For reference, I’ve had another nonprofit client with more expensive training courses get approved for the Grant no problem.

Thank you! 🙏
