[ For Houston nonprofits ]

Stop chasing one-time gifts. Start building monthly donors.

We build the ads, the donation pages and the follow-up that turn first-time donors into monthly givers for Greater Houston nonprofits, with Google Ad Grants set up and managed. Month to month, with every gift and donor in a live console.

  • Google Ad Grants, set up and managed
  • Month to month, no contract
  • Donor data stays yours

Built for 501(c)(3)s raising $100k+ a year.

See if we’re a fit

Five questions, about a minute. If it’s a fit, you pick a call time on the next screen.

Step 1 of 5

What kind of nonprofit do you run?

What do you want more of?

What could you put into paid ads each month?

How much did you raise last year?

What happens after someone’s first gift?

Brillion Studio · Greater Houston

Giving has a calendar. Appeals start late.

[ The real problem ]

One gift isn’t the goal. A donor for years is.

Most nonprofit marketing stops at the first gift. The donor gets a receipt, and most never hear from you again until the next appeal.

  1. A volunteer handing a bag of food to a woman
    01

    Donors who give once

    Most first-time donors never give a second time. A receipt isn’t a relationship.

  2. 02

    A receipt, then silence

    Someone gives for the first time. They get an automatic receipt, and nobody asks again until next year.

  3. A volunteer stocking the shelves of a food pantry
    03

    Free ads left unused

    Google gives eligible nonprofits up to $10,000 a month in search ads. Many never apply, or let the account lapse.

  4. 04

    A report you can’t check

    Clicks and impressions once a month, in a PDF. Nobody can tell you what a new donor cost.

[ The shift ]

You don’t need a bigger gala. You need donors who give every month.

A monthly donor keeps giving for years, in the quiet months too. We reach people who care about your cause, follow up after every first gift, and measure the result in donors and dollars, not clicks.

Two Houston nonprofits we’ve built for.

SoulTies US Co., a 501(c)(3) funding relief through NGO partners in Palestine and Pakistan, and the Woodlands Islamic Center. These were brand, website and donation builds rather than ad campaigns, and the figures are what each raised through them.

[ Where we aim ]

One campaign for each way people give.

Each campaign gets its own ad, its own page and its own follow-up, so someone who clicked about Ramadan lands on a page about Ramadan.

[ How it works ]

From a first gift to a monthly donor.

  1. 01

    We start with Ad Grants

    If you’re eligible, we help you apply for Google Ad Grants and build the account: up to $10,000 a month in search ads, at no cost.

  2. 02

    We build one page per campaign

    An ad set and a donation page for each campaign, told with your own stories and photos, used with consent and reviewed before anything runs.

  3. 03

    Every first gift gets a follow-up

    A thank-you within minutes, a story about what the gift did a week later, and an invitation to give monthly.

  4. 04

    You watch it in a live console

    Spend, gifts, new donors and monthly donors, by day. It’s the same console our other clients use.

[ The console ]

Know what a new donor costs.

Not clicks, not impressions. What you spent, who gave for the first time, who gave again and who went monthly, updated daily.

Straight terms.

Things nonprofit leaders ask first.

What does it cost?

Two parts. Your ad budget, which you pay straight to Google and Meta, and our management fee, which we quote on the first call. Ad Grants itself costs nothing.

We already have Ad Grants. Can you still help?

Yes. Many accounts spend a fraction of the $10,000 because of Google’s rules on keywords and click-through rates. We fix the account, then add paid campaigns where Ad Grants can’t go, like Meta.

Will our ads need a “Paid for by” disclaimer?

Sometimes. Meta treats ads about social issues, like immigration or civil rights, as a special category that needs an authorized account and a disclaimer. We set that up when a campaign needs it.

Can you run Ramadan and Zakat campaigns?

Yes. Ramadan is expected to begin in early February 2027, and the last ten nights are when many Muslim organizations raise the most. We plan the campaign in the autumn so it’s working before the first night.

Do we have to change our donation platform?

Usually not. Most nonprofits use something like Givebutter, Donorbox or LaunchGood. We’ll look at yours on the first call and connect it to the console where we can.

How soon do campaigns go live?

Usually within two weeks of the first call. Google reviews every Ad Grants application, which can take longer, so we start that on day one.

Who is this not for?

Organizations that want to buy donor lists, or tell stories without consent. We won’t do either.

[ One minute ]
