Dear New England Conference United Methodists:
More and more churches across the country and in the New England Conference of the United Methodist Church are providing members the option of contributing their pledges electronically. If your church leaders would like to explore this option and find out how it may save time and bring in more donations and pledges without being too complex to set up or administer, here is a link to Vanco Services, LLC.
Vanco is a financial technology services company specializing in electronic funds transfer (EFT) services that is working with the General Council on Finance and Administration of The United Methodist Church (GCFA) to provide an electronic giving program. Each participating congregation signs an agreement directly with Vanco and participation is voluntary.
Electronic giving is safe and simple to establish! Electronic giving yields significant benefits for both the church and its members and taps into the powerful trend away from checks toward online payments and donations. Vanco also has online donation, credit card processing, mobile giving services, among others. Interesting finding:
For churches and non-profit organizations that rely on donations, fulfillment rates for pledges made by EFT average 98%, which is 50% higher than with mail-based monthly donor programs. Source: National Automated Clearing House (NACHA)
Participation is open to all members and friends related to your congregation. Some other benefits include:
Church Benefits:
Reduces fluctuation in contributions during the year
Enhances budget forecasting
Less work processing weekly collections
Easy to start, easy to maintain and can be cancelled at any time
Member Benefits:
Eliminates need for offering envelopes
Eliminates need to write checks or have cash on hand
Brings peace of mind by fulfilling stewardship commitments on a regular basis
If your church would like to find out more about this convenient service for its members, information is online to Vanco Services at: or by contacting Jan Palmer at 800-774-9355, ext. 496.
Sincerely,
Bill
William V. Burnside, II - Treasurer
New England Conference of the United Methodist Church
