Make a Difference (MAD) was established in 2006 and has operations in 23 cities in India. The organisation is based in Bangalore, India and empowers children living in orphanages and street shelters to discover their true strengths and unleash their full potential. MAD provides creative learning spaces for these children and works to improve the quality of their education and career opportunities
Gloria, Managing Director of MAD, says, "Google Ad Grants is a must have programme for all non-profits, especially Indian non-profits that are just setting themselves up online". MAD uses their Google Ad Grants account to recruit passionate volunteers that can make a one year commitment to the organisation, raise awareness, drive online donations and identify and prioritise Iocations for international expansion.
Google Ad Grants has provided a free means of targeting not just MAD’s existing operations in 23 cities, but the rest of India and the world. Google Ads data shows which cities and countries have the highest interest in MAD and the organisation uses this data to identify where they should expand. In addition, Ad Grants allows them to build a network of volunteers that they would not be able to reach through traditional marketing methods. Approximately 20% of the organisation’s total volunteer base are Google Ads leads and approximately 30% of their website traffic comes from their Ad Grants campaigns..
“Ad Grants is a strong channel for international donations and also allows us to get early indicators of the countries to which MAD could expand our fundraising chapters – based on the donations and interest we receive.”Gloria Benny, Managing Director, MAD
