SUBJECT: New partnership between Vanco, United Methodists of Greater New Jersey
BLOOMINGTON, MINN. Vanco and the Greater New Jersey Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church (GNJ) have formed a dynamic new partnership that will provide access to industry-leading, storytelling-based giving tools to United Methodist churches throughout the region.
These tools have been developed through Vanco’s 25-plus years serving tens of thousands of churches and organizations across the country, building a giving experience that inspires generosity while connecting members directly to the churches and causes they support. Through this partnership, those tools and resources are now more accessible than ever for GNJ member churches.
“This is an amazing opportunity for us to partner with an organization like the Greater New Jersey Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church, which shares our strong commitment to empowering churches as they serve their congregations and communities,” Vanco Vice President of Strategic Partnerships Dan Gretz said. “Our entire organization is excited to team up with churches throughout the conference to tell their stories and inspire much-needed support for the impactful work they do.”
Based in Neptune, N.J., GNJ includes over 500 churches. GNJ’s mission work includes food distribution, affordable childcare, after-school programming, homeless housing, English as a second language classes, immigration programs, refugee settlement, racial justice, job development, elder care, community development and various other social services.
”We love working with a diverse group of congregations who are passionate about fulfilling our shared calling to live out the love of God in our communities and our world,” GNJ Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer Robert Zuckerman said. “That makes Vanco a fantastic partner for us because they’re committed to the work of serving churches and faith communities by empowering them to generate the support they need to accomplish that mission.”
Through this new partnership, Vanco will work with interested GNJ churches and help them offer a giving experience tailored to their needs to help them effectively fulfill their calling within the communities they serve.
