The Google Ad Grant, stewarded well
Google gives churches $10,000 a month in free advertising.
One rule keeps it coming: your ads must hold a 5% click-through rate, every month — or the grant goes away. That rule is our entire job. For $1,000 a month, we get your church approved, run your ads, and hold the line.

“Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much.” Matthew 25 : 21
What stewardship looks like
The tenfold math
No tiers, no menu of packages. One exchange, plainly stated, the way we'd want it stated to us.
Spend $1,000 on Google Ads yourself and you get $1,000 of ads. Send it through the grant, and your church receives $10,000 of the most targeted advertising on earth — people in your city, searching for what your church already offers, every single month.
The fine print
Why churches lose the grant
The gift is generous. The condition is strict. This is the part worth understanding.
Google's one hard rule: at least 5 of every 100 people who see your ad must click it — every month. Slip under that line two months in a row, and Google can cancel the grant entirely.
Writing church ads that people actually click, week after week, is a craft. Most congregations don't have a Google Ads specialist in the pews. So grants go unclaimed — or get quietly taken back.
5%the line a grant church must hold, every single month
How it usually goes: slowly, then suddenly. Two months under the line, and the grant is gone.
How it works
Three steps. One flat fee.
From the first form to every Sunday after, here is exactly what happens.
-
01
We get you approved
Google for Nonprofits enrollment, the Ad Grant application, and the website requirements — handled start to finish. You sign one form; we do the paperwork. Approvals typically land within a few weeks.
-
02
We run your ads
We study what your city actually searches — church near me · youth group · grief support · what does the Bible say about… — then write the ads they click. Your $10,000 monthly budget goes to work.
-
03
We keep you qualified
Each week we read the numbers like a steward should: which ads are tiring, which words are singing. Weak ads retire, fresh ones take their place, and your click-through rate stays comfortably above 5%.
One flat fee
$1,000 per month
The whole service. One line item for the board meeting.
- Grant application, done for you — Google for Nonprofits and Ad Grant enrollment, start to finish
- Campaigns researched, written, launched, managed — search ads for your city
- Weekly click-through-rate watch — the 5% line, held
- A one-page monthly report — in plain English, for leadership and congregation alike
- Your account stays yours — the grant, the ads, and every click of data belong to your church
First, a quick yes or no
Does your church qualify?
Registered U.S. nonprofit. 501(c)(3) status — which covers nearly every church in the country.
A live website. Somewhere for visitors to land. A simple one is fine; we'll tell you honestly if it needs help.
A clean slate with Google Ads. Most churches have never opened an account — that's a fine place to start.
Unsure about any of these? That's exactly what the free call is for.
Honest answers
Questions a good steward would ask
Is this real money?+
It's real ad spend, not cash in the bank. Google credits your church's account with up to $10,000 every month, and your ads run in the same search results, with the same power, as any paid campaign.
The credit renews monthly, as long as your church stays qualified — which is the part we handle.
Do churches really qualify?+
Yes. Churches have been eligible for the Google Ad Grant since the program began. If your church holds 501(c)(3) status and has a live website, you're likely eligible. We'll confirm the details on the call before you commit to anything.
What happens if our click-through rate falls below 5%?+
Google gives you two months of grace before they step in — and making sure that never happens is our whole job. We monitor weekly, retire ads that tire, and refresh copy so your account stays comfortably above the line. You'll see it in every monthly report.
Whose name is on the account?+
Yours. The grant, the ads account, and every click of data belong to your church — not to us. If we ever part ways, everything stays with you, and your congregation keeps the benefit of everything we built.
What would we have to do?+
One call to begin. Ten minutes to approve the ad copy. Then welcome the people who walk through the door. The paperwork, the keywords, the bidding, the weekly vigilance over the 5% line — that's ours.
Why "Tenfold"?+
From the parable of the talents — faithful over a little, trusted over much. And from arithmetic: every dollar your church gives us becomes ten dollars telling your city about Jesus.
