Case Study: Trinity Episcopal Church boosts giving and stewardship with Vanco electronic giving

Seniors Embrace Electronic Giving

Trinity Episcopal Church, a historic parish in Asheville, North Carolina, wanted a more affordable and practical way to offer electronic giving to its members. Church leaders had considered eGiving before, but cost had been a barrier, especially for a congregation with many older members and a traditional pledge process. They chose Vanco’s electronic giving solutions after hearing strong recommendations from other churches.

With Vanco, Trinity Episcopal Church launched online giving and integrated it into pledge drives and other church activities, making it easy for members to give by ACH or card. The church says eGiving now accounts for about 25 percent of the total donation plate, helps members meet pledges, and provides a more reliable year-round cash flow; even seniors embraced the option. Trinity also valued Vanco’s responsive support and easy software integration for managing donations.
