Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use these templates exactly as written? Almost. You must replace all bracketed placeholders with your organization's specifics. The templates are designed as starting frameworks, not finished ads.

Should I use all 15 headlines from one template or mix templates? If you're running one RSA per ad group, use all 15 from the most relevant template. If you want variety, mix headlines from 2-3 templates with similar goals.

How do I know which template to use for my campaign? Match the template to your campaign's objective. If the campaign targets people looking to donate, use Template 1 or 2. If it targets volunteers, use Template 3. For program promotion, use Template 5.

Do these templates work for nonprofits in any country? The structures and psychological frameworks work globally. Translate and adapt the specific wording for your audience's language and cultural context.
