  • I am a U.S. 501(c)(3) organization with charity status through a group exemption provided by a parent organization. Am I eligible for Google for Nonprofits?

    If your organization has charity status through a group exemption provided by a parent organization, you may still be eligible for Google for Nonprofits. You must be a separate branch covered through a group exemption and Google must be able to verify from public documents that your organization is covered by a qualified parent organization through a group exemption.

    To get started, sign in to Google for Nonprofits and enter your parent organization's EIN number. If there are other branch organizations using the same EIN for Google for Nonprofits, you'll be asked to create a new application. When you do, make sure to click Start new application. Don't request ownership of any of a branch organization you don't recognize.
