$10,000 a month in free Google ads. Does your church qualify?
Every month, Google sets aside up to $10,000 in free advertising for eligible nonprofits. Not a foundation grant you compete for. Not a program with a waitlist. A standing offer — and most churches that qualify never claim it.
This free checklist tells you, in plain English, whether your church is eligible, what documentation Google looks for, and the exact order to do things in. No jargon. No sales pitch. Just the path.
Built from setting up and managing Ad Grants for churches and nonprofits reaching audiences in 100+ countries.

Who This Is For
You lead a church. You've heard about the Grant. You're not sure where to start.
You're a pastor, a church admin, or a nonprofit director. Someone mentioned Google gives away $10,000 a month in ads, and it sounded too good to be true — so it went on the someday list and stayed there.
Here's the thing. It's real. U.S. churches are tax-exempt under 501(c)(3), which meets Google's core requirement. The work isn't qualifying — most churches already do. The work is knowing the steps and doing them in the right order. That's exactly what the checklist is for.
