Case Study: St. Jude Catholic Church achieves double-digit giving growth with Vanco Faith

Giving is Up Double Digits

St. Jude Catholic Church in Boca Raton needed a better way to manage donations across its parish and school while giving parishioners more ways to contribute. The church chose Vanco Faith, using Vanco’s hosted online giving solution and Vanco Kiosk to support giving by website, text, phone, kiosk, cash, and checks.

With Vanco, St. Jude could automatically split incoming funds into the right bank accounts and make reporting and administration easier for staff and bookkeepers. The results were strong: more than 300 donors moved to the new system, online giving reached 30% to 35% of total donations, giving increased by double digits and stayed strong for two years, and Vanco helped boost net profit from the annual fall festival by $9,000.
