NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Feb. 2, 1998--The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) Foundation and its newly chartered New Covenant This article is about the theological concept of the New Covenant. For other uses, see New Covenant (disambiguation).

This is the first major institution to select the newly created not-for-profit solution offered by SunGard Trust Systems.

Established in 1799, the Foundation receives and administers gifts from individuals and manages funds for Presbyterian churches and related organizations. The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) Foundation had its most effective year of support for the work of the Presbyterian Church in 1997, receiving approximately $140 million in gifts and deposits. All gifts are invested and administered solely and specifically according to according to

assets - anything of material value or usefulness that is owned by a person or company
 placed in its' trust.

The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) Foundation historically outsourced a portion of the processing and record keeping to a third party trust company. Mr. Larry Carr, President of the Foundation explained, "Creating our own trust company and acquiring SunGard Trust Systems' Trustware Series 7 accounting software will save us considerable time and money over our previous outsourced operation. We expect Presbyterian Church Foundation Chooses SunGard Trust Systems better control and more timely information to be made available to our constituents."

Mr. John B. Bingham, Vice President of the Not-For-Profit Business Unit for SunGard Trust Systems, said, "The typical bank trust department software does not fit the not-for-profit world very well. It is like a square peg in a round hole. However, after this project is completed, Presbyterian Church Foundation and SunGard Trust Systems will have a solution that streamlines the not-for-profit operations environment. This system will eliminate duplicate entry and combine critical data elements from several systems into information that makes sense to the end user."

SunGard will provide not only a solution for trust, endowment, and asset accounting, but also data links to numerous internal systems already in place at the Presbyterian Church (USA) Foundation. Trustware Series 7 will send and receive appropriate data to internal systems such as General Ledger General Ledger
