Posted on August 28, 2025 by Cody Landrum

Video is king in today’s digital world. For nonprofits, it is more than just content. It is a storytelling tool that builds trust, inspires donors, and drives impact. When combined with Google Ads and funded through a Google Ad Grant, video becomes a powerful driver of awareness and growth.

To see the kind of video work that inspires action, check out our Social Link highlight reel.


Why Video Marketing Matters for Nonprofits

Video brings your mission to life in ways that text cannot.

  • Builds trust and credibility: Show the real stories behind your work
  • Drives higher engagement: Video earns more attention and shares on social media
  • Inspires action: Emotionally powerful video encourages donations, volunteering, and advocacy
  • Maximizes reach: A single video can be used across your website, email campaigns, and social platforms

By investing in nonprofit video marketing, you can connect with supporters on a deeper level and encourage lasting involvement.


How Google Ads Amplifies Nonprofit Video Marketing

Producing a video is only the beginning. Getting the right people to see it is what creates real momentum.

With Google Ads, nonprofits can:

  • Promote videos to audiences actively searching for causes like yours
  • Drive traffic to donation pages, sign-up forms, or event registrations
  • Target supporters by location, interest, or intent for maximum impact

When paired with video, Google Ads ensures your story is not only told but also seen by the people most likely to take action.


What is the Google Ad Grant?

The Google Ad Grants program provides eligible nonprofits with up to $10,000 per month in free ad spend. That means your nonprofit can:

  • Advertise videos without straining your budget
  • Increase awareness, visibility, and engagement
  • Compete with larger organizations online, even with limited resources
