Google Grant Activation Help

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! 🙏

Gym Recommendations - New to Sauga

I’m moving from downtown Toronto to Meadowvale in a few months and am looking for gym recommendations. I’ve been going to Sweat & Tonic for the last 3 years - I mostly take spin, hot yoga, strength training, and Pilates (lagree) classes. I’m going to miss having an all-in-one gym so close to me, and I’m struggling with researching options on where to try out in Mississauga.

Any guidance is much appreciated!
