What is the Google Ad Grant?

The Google Ad Grant is a program through Google for Nonprofits that provides registered 501(c)(3) organizations with $10,000 per month in Google Search ad credits. That is up to $120,000 per year in free advertising on the world's largest search engine.

For churches and ministries, this means your website can appear at the top of Google when someone in your community searches for terms related to your mission, whether that is addiction recovery, youth programs, food assistance, counseling, or simply a church to visit this Sunday.

The grant is available to qualifying nonprofits and churches. It covers text-based search ads only (not display or video), and it requires ongoing management to stay compliant with Google's program policies.

The Easiest Grant Funding Ever!

Get your monthly grant funding in three steps. We share your passion to testify to all that Jesus is doing, so we’ll help you acquire the grant for free!

How Google Ad Grant Management Works at Reliant Creative...

1

Grant Acquisition


We walk your organization through the eligibility and application process and acquire the grant on your behalf, free of charge. If you have been denied or suspended in the past, we can help resolve compliance issues and reactivate your account.

2

Campaign Strategy and Setup

We build your ad campaigns around the content and pages you already have, targeting the search terms your audience is actually using. Every campaign is structured around your ministry’s goals, whether that is volunteer recruitment, event attendance, donor engagement, or community outreach.

Ongoing Optimization and Compliance

Google requires a minimum 5% click-through rate, proper keyword targeting, and active account management to keep the grant active. We monitor performance, adjust keywords and ad copy, and ensure your account stays compliant every month.

Monthly Reporting


You receive a clear monthly report showing impressions, clicks, conversions, and how your grant budget is being used. We are always available to walk through results and adjust strategy.

Storytelling in Ministry: A Discipleship Pathway for Healing Trauma

This is not just therapeutic. It’s deeply biblical.
In Scripture and in modern ministry, we see the same pattern: when people are seen, heard, and re-rooted in God’s story, they begin to become whole again—and their story becomes a source of healing for others.
