Nonprofit and Ministry Marketing, Including Google Ad Grant Management
We help Christian nonprofits and ministries tell a clearer story, reach new donors and volunteers, and make full use of up to $10,000 a month in free Google Search ads.
Let's Get Started
The problems we solve for nonprofits and ministries
M is Good is a Christian marketing agency in Raleigh, North Carolina that has served nonprofits and ministries since 2001. Today we work with 35 to 40 Christian organizations every month, helping them clarify their story, find new supporters and turn first gifts into lasting partnerships. Every engagement starts with strategy through our R7 Process, then puts that message to work in your brand, website, search visibility, paid media and email. For eligible 501(c)(3)s, including churches, we also apply for, build and manage the Google Ad Grant, which provides up to $10,000 a month in free Search ads.
Most of the ministry leaders who call us are carrying one of two burdens. Sometimes the organization has outgrown the way it tells its story, so the website, the year-end letter and the social posts all say slightly different things. Other times giving has flattened because the same faithful donors are being asked again and again while new supporters aren’t coming in.
Both problems usually trace back to the same place. When the vision isn’t clear in one sentence, no amount of posting or ad spend will make it clear in a newsfeed. That’s why we start with the message and only then choose the channels.
How we grow donors and supporters
Every engagement follows the R7 Process, seven steps our team has refined with ministry leaders for more than two decades: Destiny, Vision, Strategy, Brand, Communicate, Think and Action. It’s grounded in research from Gallup, Stephen Covey and the Harvard Business Review, and in Scripture, and it surfaces the gaps in vision, engagement and communication that hold a ministry back.
Clarify the story donors respond to
We sit down with your leadership and name the problem you exist to solve, the people you serve and what a gift actually makes possible. The result is a short, portable vision your staff and board can repeat. For Hope Reins, after ten weeks of meetings and prayer, it became “We inspire true hope and healing for every child.” Read the Hope Reins case study.
Build a brand people recognize and trust
A nonprofit brand is the impression someone forms when they land on your site, open your email or see your name in a friend’s post. We refresh nonprofit brands with respect for the history behind them, tightening the visual identity and voice so your organization looks as credible as the work you do. For Bridges for Peace USA, that meant a single brand line, “America’s bold voice for Israel,” and a shift from “support our work” to “be a bold voice.”
Turn your website into a giving and volunteering engine
We design nonprofit websites with a simple, trustworthy donation path, real impact stories and volunteer sign-ups that don’t get lost in a contact form. Every form is tracked, so you can see which pages and campaigns produce gifts. When First Century Foundations came to us, its donations, tour registrations and shop all ran separately; bringing them into one experience was the first step. See our Christian web design work.
Fill your events
Conferences and gatherings are often a ministry’s biggest moments. We plan and run ticket advertising, landing pages and email for them. Revival Nation’s ARMED conference grew from 124 tickets in 2023 to 340 in 2025, and the ad cost of each Facebook ticket sale fell from $42 to $8.
Google Ad Grant management for churches and nonprofits
The Google Ad Grant gives eligible nonprofits, including churches and ministries, up to $10,000 USD a month in free Search ads on Google. We handle the whole process, from Google for Nonprofits registration and grant activation to campaign builds, conversion tracking and the monthly compliance work that keeps your account active. Dr. Dave Jones wrote Spend Less, Reach More: A Pastor’s Guide to Reaching the Most Amount of People for the Least Amount of Money, and the Ad Grant is that idea in practice.
Who qualifies for the Google Ad Grant?
Most U.S. organizations with current 501(c)(3) status qualify, including churches and ministries. You’ll register with Google for Nonprofits, pass verification, agree to Google’s terms and run a secure website on a domain you own, with substantial original content about your mission. Google excludes government entities, hospitals and health care organizations, and schools and universities, though the charitable arms or foundations of health care and educational organizations can still qualify.
How we manage your grant
We check your eligibility, guide your Google for Nonprofits registration, review your website against Google’s policy and activate the account. Then we build campaigns around real searches, such as planning a first visit, asking for prayer, finding a recovery group, volunteering or giving, and point each one to a page built for that search. We set up meaningful conversions like visit plans, prayer requests, volunteer sign-ups and donations. Every month we monitor click-through rate, prune weak keywords, add negatives, test new ad copy and send you a plain-language report. If your account has been suspended, we find the cause and handle the reinstatement request.
Ministry results
Voice of Judah Israel: advertising that finds new donors
Since 2023 we have run VOJI’s Meta and Google ads, Google Ad Grant, SEO and donor reporting. Its Meta campaign around the October 7 anniversary in 2024 brought in 54 new donors and $56,100, against 15 donors and $7,500 a year earlier, on about a third of the spend. By October 2025, tracked marketing had produced 406 new donors and $715,000 in gifts. Read the case study.
Bridges for Peace USA: a bold voice and a donor funnel
A small Israel-advocacy ministry competing with much larger organizations for the same evangelical donors. We defined its brand line, then built Meta ads, donor email journeys and a monthly sustainer program. Online gifts under $1,000 rose 40% in Q3 2026 over Q3 2025. Read the case study.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a nonprofit marketing agency do?
A nonprofit marketing agency helps mission-driven organizations communicate their cause clearly, attract new donors and volunteers, and keep current supporters engaged. The work usually covers messaging and branding, websites, search visibility, paid advertising and email.
How much does nonprofit marketing cost?
Cost depends on scope. A single ongoing service such as SEO or Ad Grant management costs much less than a full brand, website and campaign engagement. We put a fixed proposal in writing after a free conversation about your goals, and many organizations offset ad costs with the free Google Ad Grant.
Do you only work with Christian nonprofits?
Our focus is Christian and faith-based nonprofits and ministries, along with values-based organizations whose mission aligns with ours. If you’re unsure whether we’re a fit, ask us.
How much is the Google Ad Grant worth?
Eligible organizations can access up to $10,000 USD a month in Google Search ads, which is up to $120,000 a year. It’s a ceiling, not a guaranteed spend, and how much you actually use depends on how well the account is managed.
Who qualifies for the Google Ad Grant?
Most U.S. 501(c)(3) nonprofits qualify, including churches and ministries. Google excludes government entities, hospitals and health care organizations, and schools and universities, though the charitable arms or foundations of health care and educational organizations can qualify.
Does the Google Ad Grant work for pregnancy resource centers?
Many can qualify, but in our experience the grant does little for them. Grant ads for pregnancy centers rarely serve, even on searches that have nothing to do with abortion; one center we manage used $47 of grant credit in 27 months. For pregnancy centers we usually recommend a paid Google Ads budget instead, and we tell you that up front.
