Google & Facebook Ad Grants
Facebook and Google have both announced programs to help small businesses at this time, including some cash grants and ad credits.
Google to offer $800+ million to support small businessess
Almost half of this sum will be available to SMBs who have had active Google Ads accounts over the past year (spent on Google Ads 10 out of 12 months in 2019.) Ad credits will be determined by Google and applied automatically to Google Ads accounts throughout 2020. Beginning in late May, Google will begin automatically applying credits to accounts - there is no application process or way to influence eligibility. We are monitoring our client's accounts closely, and also monitoring Google's blogs and releases for further information.
Facebook Small Business Grants Program
Facebook is offering $100 million in cash grants and ad credits for SMBs in or near a location where Facebook operates. This money can help fund employee salaries, help with rent costs, fund marketing or ad spend or cover operational costs. Applications for these grants have opened in the NYC and Seattle areas. Applications will open April 22nd for all other eligible cities. For most of our clients, that would only apply to clients in the Atlanta area with 2 - 50 employees. Visit Facebook to learn more about the application process or contact us about the program.
