Quick answer

Charities pick a paid tier — Featured (£149/mo, max 12 partners) or Premier (£299/mo, max 4) — we build their profile, and every donate button links straight to the charity's own page: we never process donations or take a cut. Partnerships are monthly rolling, cancel anytime, with a free waitlist when a tier is full.

Partner tiers

Choose how your charity appears

Featured has a 6-month minimum; Premier a 12-month minimum — then monthly rolling, cancel with 30 days’ notice. Or pay annually and get two months free. Both tiers are capacity-capped so every placement keeps its value.

How it works

Live in three steps

  1. 1

    Pick a tier and apply

    Email us your charity name, Charity Commission number and chosen tier — Featured or Premier. Both tiers are capped, so apply early to secure a slot.

  2. 2

    We verify and build your profile

    We check every applicant against the Charity Commission register, then build your rich partner profile — statement, impact stats and appeals.

  3. 3

    Donations go straight to you

    Your donate button opens your own donate page in a new tab. We never process donations or take a cut — cancel anytime, monthly rolling.

Charity partner FAQs

How many charities can join the programme?

Featured is capped at 12 active partners and Premier at 4. Caps keep each placement valuable — a homepage or Easter slot shared by four charities is worth far more than one shared by forty. 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?

Yes — so a capped placement keeps its value for every partner. Featured has a 6-month minimum; Premier has a 12-month minimum. After the minimum term the partnership rolls monthly and you can cancel with 30 days' notice. Your profile page stays live (unpaid, clearly labelled) even if you leave the paid placement.

Who can apply to be a charity partner?

Any UK-registered charity. We verify every applicant against the Charity Commission 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 "Charity partner" or "Verified 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).

Church Near Me is free to use. Church listings and all editorial content are never for sale — partnership changes nothing about how a church appears in the directory.
