🎉 How Do I Check The Status Of My Google For Nonprofit Application?

How to Check the Status of a Google for Nonprofits Application 🧭

If your church has applied for Google for Nonprofits and you’re wondering, “Where are we in the process?” — follow these steps 👇

🔐

Go to Google for Nonprofits and sign in using the email account that submitted the application.

⚠️ Important: The status will only show for the email address that applied. If you’re logged into a different email account, you may not see anything.

Step 2: Open the Google for Nonprofits Dashboard

📊

Once logged in, you’ll land on your Google for Nonprofits dashboard.

Here’s what you’re looking for:

An application status banner
Or a message showing what stage your application is in

Step 3: Check Your Application Status

🔎

Your church’s application will usually show one of these statuses:

Under Review ⏳
Google is reviewing your nonprofit eligibility (this can take several days to a few weeks).
Action Required ⚠️
Google needs more information — this might be:
- Missing details
- A verification issue
- A request to confirm nonprofit status
Approved 🎉
You’re officially approved for Google for Nonprofits!
Rejected ❌
The application didn’t meet eligibility requirements (often due to verification issues, not church status).

Step 4: Check Your Email (Very Important!) 📧

📬

Google and Goodstack sends status updates by email, so be sure to:

Search your inbox for emails from:
- google.com
- @google.com
- Goodstack (Goodstack helps verify nonprofits)
Check spam and promotions folders
Look for subject lines mentioning:
- Google for Nonprofits
- Verification
- Eligibility review

👉 Many applications stall simply because an email was missed.

Step 5: If You Don’t See Anything…

🤔

If you log in and:

Don’t see an application
Or aren’t sure it was submitted

Try this:

Confirm which email address applied
Ask past staff members or volunteers
Search inboxes for “Google for Nonprofits” or “Goodstack”

Quick Pro Tips 💡

✨ Approval often takes 2–14 business days, but can take longer

✨ Most delays happen because of missed emails or incomplete verification
