Page History

A large percentage of incoming gifts to Reliant are donated via reliant.org. The site is safe, secure, and easy to use, allowing donors to quickly search for ministry funds. Unless discussed in advance, each Reliant-approved ministry will have an accompanying “online profile” which online profile that gives potential donors a brief summary of the ministry. Because this avenue is such an important one for giving, Reliant expects ministries to maintain their online profile with up-to-date information.

...

Because the online profile represents Reliant to a wide variety of viewers, ministries will want to consider the following as they submit their information.

Ministry Location. The giving page can display the city and state or country. If the ministry is in a sensitive location, please specify that you wish to leave this information blank.

Ministry Fund Description. This is the description of the local ministry. It is listed first to show Reliant Mission’s priority on the funds being for the ministry. 

• DO: Use third person. Be brief (2-3 sentences). Add concrete responsibilities or specialties (“small group coaching” or “evangelism specialist”). Mention the mission field or need and include the gospel (“40,000 student mission field who need to hear the good news of Christ”).
• DON’T: Use local church jargon that might be hard to understand for a wider Christian audience (e.g. “TNL” or “canvas group”). Feel the need to list everything your ministry does; choose one or two key points. Use uncommon abbreviations.

Photos. Submit a few photo choices that will work for both a profile photo and a cover photo.

• Profile photos could be your ministry’s logo, or other photo that appropriately represents the ministry.
  • Please submit original, large, high-resolution graphics.
  • The profile photo is square on the reliant.org search page, and circular on the profile page. Think of this as similar to

...

• • the ministry's Facebook profile photo space.
  • Minimum graphic width acceptable is 600 pixels. The ideal size is 1000 pixels wide.
• Cover photos for the top of the giving page should be wide, landscape photos.
  • Use large, high-resolution photos.
  • The photo will be cropped so only a slim horizontal section will show.
    • Photos with relative content that utilizes the full height will not work well.
    • Choose a photo that has some "blank" space or filler content above or below the relative content. 
    • Faces should not be close up. Ones at a distance will work better with the allotted space.
  • Avoid using photos that have words on them. With the cropping and the fade effect that will be automatically applied, the words may either be unreadable or not seen at all.
  • Minimum width is 2000 pixels. The ideal size is 3500 pixels wide.

Links. Provide links to any social media or ministry website which will help further connect donors with the ministry.
