How to Make a Donation on Behalf of your Local Church | Gifts and Endowment Management System (GEMS)

This guide explains how to donate through the GEMS portal when giving on behalf of your local church. It walks you through logging in or creating an account, selecting the project or missionary, and using the “donate on behalf of a UM church” option so the congregation receives official credit. Follow the instructions to search and assign the church for credit, complete payment, and ensure proper attribution of the gift.
