A transparent local sponsorship plan
Enter the church’s real weekly reach, issue frequency, ad slots, local rate and print cost. The calculator shows gross sponsorship, annual print cost, net support and the effective cost per thousand copies.
Free: no card, no watermark, clean PDF export and mobile publishing included.
Use the church’s real numbers
This planning tool does not invent a market rate. Enter the rate the church chooses after local review.
Do the job well
Start with average copies distributed, digital bulletin reach if measured, the number of issues included and the exact position or size. Offer a small number of clear packages so staff can place ads consistently.
Create a written acceptance policy before soliciting sponsors. Mark paid placements clearly, review every advertiser, prohibit misleading claims, and give the church final refusal rights. Keep editorial and pastoral content independent from sponsorship.
Straight answers

Business-card/eighth-page, quarter-page and half-page units are easy to grid. A full sponsor back page can reduce layout disruption inside the bulletin.
Yes. Clearly label sponsorships or advertisements so readers can distinguish paid placement from church editorial content.

No payment card, no watermark and no paywall at export.
