To help workforce development and environmental sustainability focused nonprofits reach the right audiences on LinkedIn, we provide free LinkedIn advertising credits via our Ad Grants program.

Through this program, nonprofits can leverage the LinkedIn platform to build awareness around priority issues, recruit volunteers, hire talent, attract corporate partners, and much more.

Nonprofits are also connected with a LinkedIn advertising expert who can provide consultation and best practices to help make the most of the Ad Grant.
