Charities in the UK should make sure that they take advantage of the Google Grants scheme that lets them advertise using the Google Ads system for free! Essentially Google are offering charities ‘cost-free click throughs’ so that you can promote your cause, campaign or events for nothing. There are a few restrictions and they do ask that you actively monitor the account, but other than that it is free ‘virtual’ money. To apply for your Google Grant go to http://tinyurl.com/35parkw (Source: Charity Business Newsletter, July 10)

State funded and special schools also supported; arts – the foundation seeks applications that make a strong artistic case for support in either the performing or visual arts.
