Did you know that Google offers grants that let nonprofits advertise online for free?

The ads through Adwords can be a great way to reach your constituents and further your organization's exposure.

If you already receive a Google Grant, you may be able to attend Google's first-ever  Google Grants Workshop, where you can learn about Google's products and services and become a better Adwords manager.

The workshop is in early August at Google headquarters in Mountain View, CA. Google expects this will be a popular event and is holding a lottery to decide who to invite.

You need to sign up to enter the lottery by June 30.

If you don't attend, or aren't signed up for Google Grants yet, there will be an opportunity to learn from the event: Google says it will record it and post videos online afterward.

We'll keep our eyes open and let you know when they are up. (And, if you need more information, feel free to call us at Embolden. We manage Adwords campaigns, both through grants and not, and have lots to share.)
