Our Mission

The Presbyterian Purchasing Partnership, formalized in April 1998, is a cost-saving purchasing program designed for use by Presbyterian congregations and affiliate agencies, institutions and organizations. This partnership is a stewardship effort with goals of offering high quality products and services at attractive, competitive prices. Some negotiated agreements also may be used by members of individual congregations and staff employed by affiliate organizations. As a partnership member, you can save hundreds, even thousands of dollars on everyday purchases.

The Partnership enables all affiliate entities to receive discounts on purchases from preferred providers who offer high quality products and services on a national basis. Participation in the Partnership is voluntary. There is no application form or membership fee. You deal directly with the supplier. Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) does not serve as an agent for any supplier.

The Partnership is sponsored by the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). By combining strength in numbers and using purchasing power, we can negotiate national account pricing for the membership. Each participating supplier has met the Partnership selection criteria. Ongoing periodic evaluations of supplier performance standards are conducted by the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) and Partnership members to ensure the highest quality of products and services possible.

It’s free and yours for the asking!

Please take a few minutes to explore the current list of participating suppliers. Should your need for a particular product or service match a listed supplier’s offering, simply contact that supplier. Mention the contract number shown in their description or refer to this Partnership plan. It’s that easy!
