Google AdWords provides free online advertising to nonprofit groups, the Internet search portal has announced.

AdWords awards are arranged through the Google Grants program and support nonprofit community-based groups involved in science and technology, education, global public health, the environment, youth advocacy, and the arts. In-kind ads are intended to help groups inform and engage their constituents, raise awareness and drive traffic to their websites.

Application deadline is open. AdWords grants are good for at least three months of advertising. Only 501(c)3 nonprofits may apply.
