Announcing v5 release and changes for supporting European Union Political Ads Regulation in Campaign Manager 360 API

What’s changing?

As announced last year, Google will stop serving political advertising in the European Union ahead of new regulation in October 2025. Today, we’re releasing updates to the Campaign Manager 360 API v4 to support this change. We’re also announcing the release of v5.

For details on the changes related to euPoliticalAdsDeclaration, continue reading this post. For details on all other changes, and the v5 release, see the release notes.

v4 Deprecation and sunset reminder

In accordance with our deprecation schedule, the v5 release marks the beginning of the deprecation period for v4, which will sunset on Feb 26, 2026. After this date, any requests made against v4 will begin returning errors.

See the migration guide for details. In most cases, you will just need to upgrade to the latest version of your preferred client library. We recommend that you review the release notes to learn about important changes you might need to be aware of.

If you have questions about this or anything else Campaign Manager 360 API related, feel free to reach out to us on our support forum.

Background

Campaign Manager 360 will require self-declaration for EU political ads. You must declare whether or not a campaign contains EU political ads when creating it.

You can also make this declaration for the advertiser as a whole. This declaration will state whether any campaigns under the advertiser will contain EU political ads. We recommend that you make the declaration at the advertiser level using the Campaign Manager 360 API or under the advertiser Properties settings in the Campaign Manager 360 UI.

Campaign Manager 360 API v4 and v5 will support the ability to declare whether a campaign contains EU political ads.

Campaign Manager 360 API

Campaign Manager 360 will start requiring declarations for new campaigns and for existing campaigns when adding a new placement, ad, or creative.

Campaign Manager 360 API v5 will require the field euPoliticalAdsDeclaration for new campaign resources and for existing campaign resources when adding a new placement, ad, or creative.

The field euPoliticalAdsDeclaration will be added to the following API objects in v4 and v5 to surface self-declaration at different resource levels:

  • Campaign objects for getting and setting the declaration at the campaign level.
  • Advertiser for getting and setting the declaration at the advertiser level.

The following table lists the values that can be set for this field on Advertiser resources.

Value
ADVERTISER_PLANS_TO_SERVE_EU_POLITICAL_ADS
ADVERTISER_DOES_NOT_PLAN_TO_SERVE_EU_POLITICAL_ADS

The following table lists the values that can be set for this field on Campaign resources.

Value
CONTAINS_EU_POLITICAL_ADS
DOES_NOT_CONTAIN_EU_POLITICAL_ADS

If you set the euPoliticalAdsDeclaration field to ADVERTISER_DOES_NOT_PLAN_TO_SERVE_EU_POLITICAL_ADS for the parent advertiser, the field will be backfilled for existing campaigns to match and new campaigns will use that value if another is not set at creation.

What do I need to do?

We recommend that you make the declaration at the advertiser level. You can do this either by setting the euPoliticalAdsDeclaration field using the API when calling the advertisers.insert, advertisers.patch or advertisers.update methods, or in the Campaign Manager 360 UI under the advertiser Properties setting.

If you can’t declare at the advertiser level or have declared that EU political ads may be served under your advertiser, you will need to provide declarations at the campaign level by updating your use of the following API methods:

How will this affect my campaign serving?

Refer to the Campaign Manager 360 Help center article to learn more about how this declaration affects your ad serving.

Learn More

As with every new version of the Campaign Manager 360 API, we encourage you to carefully review all changes in the release notes. For those of you looking to get going right away, updated client libraries are now available. If you're just starting out, the Get Started guide is a great reference to help you get up and running quickly.

Give it a try and let us know if you have any questions!

Google AI Pro for Education subscription now available to Workspace for Education customers

What’s changing 

Last year, we brought the best of Google AI, including Google Workspace with Gemini, to Workspace for Education customers with two paid add-ons: Gemini Education and Gemini Education Premium. 

This past June, we notified education customers that we are simplifying our offerings and bringing even more value by consolidating Gemini Education and Gemini Education Premium into a single add-on subscription, Google AI Pro for Education. 

This includes all the advanced features previously found in Gemini Education Premium. Google AI Pro for Education provides access to Gemini in Google Workspace apps, including AI-powered note taking and summaries in Google Meet, expanded access to premium models and features in Gemini for Education and NotebookLM, and more proactive security with AI-enhanced data loss prevention. 

Starting today, new customers and resellers can purchase the Google AI Pro for Education add-on, and the Gemini Education and Gemini Education Premium add-ons are no longer available for sale. 

Getting started 

  • Admins: No action is needed. 
    • Customers with a Gemini Education subscription now have access to all the features previously found in Gemini Education Premium. At your next renewal, your subscription will be renamed to Google AI Pro for Education. 
    • Customers with a Gemini Education Premium subscription will not see immediate changes. At your next renewal, we will migrate your subscription to Google AI Pro for Education. 
  • End users: There is no end user impact or action required. 

Rollout pace 

  • Updates in Admin Console will begin taking effect starting August 28, 2025 and may take a couple weeks to roll out for new customers purchasing a Google AI Pro for Education subscription. 
  • Updates to feature availability for existing customers with a Gemini Education subscription are complete.

10 to Watch 2025: Fueling Community Transformation, One Leader at a Time

At United Way of the Greater Triangle, we believe in the power of people—especially the visionary leaders who are building the solutions their communities need most. That belief is at the heart of 10 to Watch, a program we launched in 2018 to identify, support, and amplify under-represented nonprofit leaders and the high-impact organizations they lead. 
 
In 2025, we’re proud to welcome the fourth cohort of 10 to Watch: ten dynamic, mission-driven leaders who are driving change family by family, neighborhood by neighborhood, community by community. These leaders aren’t waiting for permission or validation—they're doing the work. What they need is partnership, early-stage investment, access to resources, and an expanded network to help scale their vision. That’s what 10 to Watch provides.

And the results speak for themselves. 
 
Since the program began: 
  • Participating organizations have experienced an average of 243% revenue growth within five years of entering the cohort. 
  • Charitable contributions for these organizations increased by over $763,000 on average. 
  • 29 of the 30 alumni are still actively leading or working in the Triangle’s social sector. 
  • The leaders’ platforms have expanded nationally, appearing on CNN, Good Morning America, Forbes, and even on exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. 

Take Hope Renovations, for example—a 2021–2022 cohort member. Their dual mission of training underemployed women in the trades and repairing homes for seniors and individuals with disabilities saw a 439% increase in revenue over two years. That’s not just growth—that’s generational impact. 
 
This level of transformation is only possible through powerful partnerships. We’re especially grateful to Google Fiber, a continuous supporter of 10 to Watch from the beginning, and a recent contributor of $40,000 toward our 2025 cohort. Their investment doesn’t just support individual organizations, it helps build a more just, equitable Triangle for all. 

We created 10 to Watch because we saw a gap. Under-represented leaders were building incredible organizations but lacked access to traditional philanthropic pipelines. Eight years later, this initiative is not only closing that gap—it’s opening new doors. 

At United Way of the Greater Triangle, we see uplifting and galvanizing communities not as a responsibility, but as a necessity. We are proud to walk alongside these leaders and their communities as they chart a future rooted in justice, equity, and opportunity. 

This is more than a program. It’s a movement. And we’re just getting started.
