From first enquiry to publication

Built together, checked before launch.

  1. 01

    Tell us about your cause

    Share your registration number, campaign goals and the places you hope to reach.

  2. 02

    Agree the scope and terms

    We check the relevant charity register and confirm placement dates, the full price and what reporting is available.

  3. 03

    Review your profile

    You review the copy, source any impact claims and check every link before the labelled campaign goes live.

A campaign you can assess

Clear reporting, with the limits explained.

For active campaigns, the directory records opens of your labelled placement links, grouped by day, placement and city where relevant. Your campaign review can include a dated CSV report. Repeat opens can count more than once; the figures do not measure unique visitors, advertisement views or donations.

We agree your campaign goal, placements, dates and reporting frequency before launch. Any donation or conversion results must come from your own fundraising system. A case study is published only with your approval and supporting evidence.

There are no published campaign case studies yet. The example profile demonstrates the layout.

Charity partnership questions

Do directory listing counts show audience size?

No. Church and town counts describe directory coverage, not visitors, impressions or likely donations. Ask for available audience evidence and an agreed reporting scope before deciding. We do not promise traffic, donations, search rankings or inclusion in AI answers.

What is confirmed before we pay?

We confirm registration, suitable placement locations, campaign dates, billing period, full payable amount and any applicable VAT, reporting, renewal and cancellation terms in writing. An enquiry is not a booking and no payment is taken on this page.

Should my charity apply — and who should skip this?

Apply if you are a UK-registered charity and want a labelled profile with a donate button to your own page. Skip this page if you are a donor — use how to choose a charity. Skip it if you want a free church listing; those are never for sale. Skip it if you are not yet on the Charity Commission, OSCR or CCNI register.

How many charities can join the programme?

Featured is capped at 12 active partners and Premier at 4. Placement capacity is limited so campaigns can be planned clearly. Availability and dates are confirmed in writing; these caps are not a live count of available places. Partner profile pages themselves are unlimited; the caps only apply to the paid placements.

What happens if a tier is full when we apply?

You join the waitlist at no cost and we contact you as soon as a slot opens, in the order you applied. We never oversell a capped tier — if we say four Premier partners, there are four.

Does paying change where our charity appears in listings or editorial?

No. Editorial content — guides, church profiles and answers — is never for sale, and church listings are unaffected. Paid partnership adds a rich profile and clearly labelled placement only.

Do you process donations for our charity?

Never. Every donate button leaves Church Near Me and opens your charity's own donate page. We never handle, hold or take a cut of donations — gifts go directly through your own fundraising setup.

Is there a minimum term?

On monthly billing, Featured has a 6-month minimum (£894) and Premier has a 12-month minimum (£3,588). Annual billing is a 12-month commitment paid upfront: £1,490 or £2,990. Monthly plans roll monthly after their initial term, with 30 days’ notice to cancel. Renewal and any annual cancellation terms are confirmed in writing before you pay.

Who can apply to be a charity partner?

Any UK-registered charity — Charity Commission for England and Wales, OSCR in Scotland, or CCNI in Northern Ireland. We verify every applicant against the relevant register before a profile goes live, and we reserve the right to decline organisations that do not fit our community standards.

What does the donate button on our profile actually do?

It opens your charity's own donation page in a new tab. Visitors see a clear notice that they are leaving Church Near Me, so there is never any confusion about who receives their gift.

Is paid placement labelled as such?

Always. Partner placements carry a visible "Advertisement · Charity partner" label wherever they appear, and donate links are marked as outbound sponsored links. Readers can always tell what is paid placement.

Is there a discount for paying annually?

Yes — annual billing gives you two months free on either tier. Featured is £1,490 a year (rather than £1,788) and Premier is £2,990 (rather than £3,588).

Quick answer

Church Near Me offers labelled charity partnerships: Featured at £149 a month with a six-month minimum, or Premier at £299 a month with a twelve-month minimum. Annual plans are also available. Donations go through the charity’s own website. Church listings remain free, and an enquiry does not commit you to a plan.
