Effortless Google for Nonprofits Registration

Follow Our Step-By-Step Guide.

Google for Nonprofits offers a suite of powerful tools designed to help charitable organizations enhance their outreach, collaboration, and fundraising efforts. With access to products like Google Ad Grants, YouTube for Nonprofits, and Google Workspace, nonprofits can boost their online visibility, streamline their operations, and engage more effectively with their communities—all at no cost. By leveraging these tools, nonprofits can amplify their missions and drive more impact.

Having trouble registering for Google for Nonprofits? We might have identified the issue. One of the most common mistakes is applying with an email address that isn’t registered under your organization’s domain. The application must be submitted using your corporate email address, such as name@nameofyourorganization.org. Additionally, this email must be registered as a Google account. If these two requirements aren’t met, your application will not be processed successfully.

How do I register my corporate email address as a Google account?
  1. First, go to the Google Account Sign In page and click the “Create an account” button in the upper right corner.
  2. Next, fill in your basic information as required.
  3. In the following window, select “Use your email address” and click “Next.”
  4. Enter your corporate email address.
  5. You will then receive a 6-digit verification code in your inbox. Enter the code and click “Next” to complete the process.
  6. Google for Nonprofits Application Process
