Only the non-profits that charge tuition or a membership fee would be
excluded.  I know of a google grants recipient that provides
tutoring/mentoring for inner city kids.  It is in the education
sphere.  Teach for America has google grants.

Typical google.  No one there is allowed to say anything about
anything.  They are so paranoid about making all external
communication come from the highest levels, that their individual
support is terrible.

Adwords is hard.  It is easy to burn through a ton of money if you
don't know what you are doing.
