Why ISVD covers this topic
Google for Nonprofits offers up to $120,000 per year in advertising credits and free cloud tools to eligible organizations, yet awareness in Japan remains extremely low. Of roughly 100,000 nonprofit entities, only a fraction take advantage of these benefits. The greatest barrier to entry is simply not knowing — and that is also the greatest opportunity. As a practitioner running Ad Grants ourselves, ISVD believes that closing this information gap strengthens the digital infrastructure of civil society.
