Could be, but then that applies to every non profit in the "education" sphere. O > I really think they are looking for > causes to support Perhaps. Their program is fairly broad and they don't provide any feedback[It is not atypical for this application to take 4-9 months to process and they don't provide any updates on where it is in the queue] I generally tell small businesses to avoid adwords because of Google's method of juicing their pricing. So I'm not even sure this is a legitimate program, or if it is just a way Google uses to advertise the program[figuring non profits will give up on waiting and just start paying them]. Still, it is certainly their right to put any parameters on it they want. It would just be nice if they actually gave meaningful answers. As it is...I still recommend that those on a budget avoid adwords and I recommend non profits apply for the Google grants and then forget about it for a year till they hear back.
