GCAH OFFERS EXCLUSIVE INCENTIVES FOR #GIVINGTUESDAY PARTNERS
Matching gift up to $5,000, John Wesley ornament available to donors
Tomorrow is Giving Tuesday 2023. At the General Commission on Archives and History, our goal is to raise $10,000 in this single day of generosity, funds that will be used to enable creative and innovative initiatives in the coming year.
To help meet our goal, we would like to inform you of two exciting incentives.
- Every dollar given up to $5,000 will be matched, which doubles the impact of your financial gift.
- Every gift of $250 or more will receive an exclusive John Wesley cloth ornament. This ornament currently is only available to Giving Tuesday donors.
Throughout Giving Tuesday, follow along on the agency’s social media platforms (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok) for updates and surprises.
Your tax-deductible gift to GCAH enables the ministry to tell the story of The United Methodist Church, as well as partners with us to share resources and opportunities for our history to be discovered and preserved.
GCAH has creative and innovative initiatives for the coming years:
- Continue to create and publish online history courses designed for local church and small group use, including the new “Radicle Methodism,” a four-part introductory history course available at no charge to local churches and individuals;
- Produce the American Methodist Pilgrimage, a multi-day tour of top Methodist sites;
- Launch United MethodiSTories, an oral history software to easily capture stories of United Methodists throughout the connection in a secure repository;
- Record and publish our podcast, "Un-Tied Methodism,” which begins twice-a-month episodes in January;
- Develop resources to get children and youth excited about Methodist history and heritage
- Continuing the necessary transition to a digital repository, increasing access to our denomination's history for all!
Use this donate link for secure online giving or mail a check made payable to GCAH to 36 Madison Avenue, Madison, NJ 07940.
Thank you for your consideration and generosity to be part of this exciting opportunity to preserve, contextualize and envision the future of The United Methodist Church.
