Frequently Asked Questions
How do I qualify for church grants?
Most church grants require 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status and a defined community program or ministry project. Additional requirements may include proof of financial stability, board governance, and a clear mission statement. We'll help you assess your eligibility before you apply, ensuring you meet all requirements and have the best chance of success.
How much does grant writing cost?
We offer a completely free plan (lead generation) that includes access to our 1,200+ grant database, gap analysis for 1 grant (shows gaps but doesn't write), and training modules. No credit card required. For full grant writing features, you can choose from: $49 per grant (pay-as-you-go with no expiration), $79/month Starter plan (3 grants per month), or $149/month Professional plan (unlimited grants with dedicated account manager). Annual pricing available with 2 months free ($790/year for Starter, $1,490/year for Professional).
What kind of support do you provide?
All plans include email support and access to our AI grant assistant. Professional plan includes priority support with faster response times. Our system provides step-by-step guidance throughout the grant writing process, including automated RFP analysis, proposal templates, and compliance checking.
How does grant writing work?
Grant writing involves researching available grants, analyzing eligibility requirements, preparing compelling proposals that align with funders' priorities, and submitting complete applications. Our AI-powered platform automates much of this process by analyzing RFPs, generating tailored proposals based on your church's information, and ensuring all compliance requirements are met. We guide you through each step—from finding suitable grants to final submission.
How long does the grant writing process take?
The timeline varies by grant complexity, but most churches complete a grant application through our platform in 3-7 days. Simple grants can be done in a single session, while larger federal grants may take 1-2 weeks. Our AI assistant significantly reduces writing time by auto-generating sections based on your church profile. Once submitted, funding decisions typically take 30-90 days depending on the grantor.
What types of grants are available for churches?
Churches can access various grant types including: building/renovation grants, community outreach program funding, youth ministry support, food pantry/hunger relief grants, technology and equipment funding, disaster relief assistance, and faith-based initiative grants. We maintain a database of church-specific opportunities from foundations, denominational grants, government programs, and corporate giving initiatives.
Do I need grant writing experience to use your service?
No experience necessary! Our platform is specifically designed for churches with no grant writing background. The AI assistant walks you through every section with plain-language guidance, examples, and templates. You simply provide information about your church and project—our system handles the professional formatting, compliance checking, and proposal structure.
What information do I need to provide about my church?
You'll need: your 501(c)(3) determination letter, church mission statement, financial statements (typically last 1-2 years), board of directors list, project description and budget, community impact data, and relevant program documentation. Don't worry if you don't have everything ready—our system tells you exactly what each grant requires, and you can save progress as you gather materials.
What's your grant application success rate?
While success rates vary by grant type and competition, churches using our service typically see a 25-40% approval rate—significantly higher than the national average of 10-20% for first-time grant applicants. Our AI optimizes proposals for each specific funder's priorities and ensures technical compliance, which are the two biggest factors in grant success.
Can small churches with limited budgets apply for grants?
Absolutely! Many grantmakers specifically prioritize smaller churches and grassroots organizations. Grants range from $500 micro-grants to $100,000+ major funding. Our free plan is perfect for small churches testing grant funding for the first time, and we help you identify grants sized appropriately for your church's budget and capacity.
How is AI grant writing different from traditional grant writers?
AI grant writing provides 24/7 access, instant proposal generation, and affordable pricing that traditional grant writers ($75-150/hour) can't match. However, our AI is trained specifically on successful church grants and maintains the personalized, mission-focused approach that resonates with faith-based funders. You get professional quality at a fraction of the cost, with the ability to apply for multiple grants simultaneously.
What happens after I submit a grant application?
After submission, you'll receive a confirmation and tracking information. Most funders respond within 30-90 days. We provide guidance on follow-up communications and help you prepare required reporting if funded. If your application isn't successful, we offer revision assistance and help identify alternative funding sources. All plans include post-submission support.
Can I use your service for multiple grant applications?
Yes! That's actually recommended. Most successful churches apply for 5-10 grants annually to diversify funding. Your church profile and project information are saved, making subsequent applications much faster. Our Starter plan ($79/month) includes 3 grants per month, Professional plan ($149/month) offers unlimited grants, while the pay-per-grant option ($49 each) is ideal if you only need a few per year.
Do you help find grants, or just write them?
Both! Our platform includes grant discovery features that match your church with relevant opportunities based on your location, denomination, project type, and funding needs. We alert you to new grants and deadlines. You're not just getting writing help—you're getting a complete grant funding system.
What if my grant application gets rejected?
Rejection is common in grant writing—even experienced applicants face it. We provide detailed feedback on improving your next application, help you understand why proposals may not have been selected, and can resubmit to the same funder in future cycles (if allowed). Many churches get funded on their second or third attempt after refining their approach.
Is grant writing hard?
Not with our AI-powered system! We've simplified the complex parts so you can focus on telling your church's story. The platform guides you step-by-step through each section with clear instructions and examples.
Can I try before committing to a paid plan?
Yes—our free plan includes access to our 1,200+ grant database, gap analysis for 1 grant (shows gaps but doesn't write), and training modules. No credit card required. This allows you to explore opportunities and understand your readiness before committing to paid plans for full grant writing.
Do I need to be tech-savvy?
No. If you can send an email, you can use our platform. It's designed for church leaders, not tech experts. The interface is intuitive and straightforward, with help available at every step.
