Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • 2025 results show 69,023 students and faculty reached, plus 2,671 first-time decisions.
  • InterVarsity raised regular Bible-study participation 13% and leadership involvement to 5,550 people.
  • EveryCampus cut gospel-less campuses from 1,300-plus to under 500, proving execution momentum.

What critics are saying

  • Donor dependence remains acute: 2025 revenue was $126.4 million, with only $3.2 million surplus.
  • Campus access still faces constitutional fights; public universities can relitigate chapter recognition anytime.
  • If Gen Z engagement stalls after Urbana 25, campus density erodes and mission relevance weakens.

What makes InterVarsity unique

  • InterVarsity spans 700+ campuses, giving unmatched national student-ministry distribution.
  • Urbana 25 in Phoenix targets Gen Z with a recurring leadership pipeline.
  • The 2026 Gloo partnership modernizes InterVarsity’s IT, cybersecurity, and enterprise systems.

InterVarsity and Gloo announce strategic technology partnership

InterVarsity and Gloo announce strategic technology partnership. MADISON, Wis. - InterVarsity Christian Fellowship/USA today announced a strategic technology partnership with Gloo, a leading technology company serving the faith and flourishing ecosystem. The collaboration is designed to strengthen InterVarsity's technology foundation, enabling the organization to scale its ministry across college campuses nationwide, while staying focused on its core mission. "Meeting the growing technology demands of ministries has become increasingly challenging, especially given nonprofit budget constraints," said Kim Porter, Chief Operations Officer at InterVarsity. "Gloo provides a way for ministries to combine our technology capabilities, giving each of us access to expertise and resources we couldn't sustain independently." InterVarsity has collaborated with Gloo for more than eight years on key initiatives including the EveryCampus website. Since its official launch in 2018, the EveryCampus platform has been instrumental in decreasing the number of campuses without a gospel movement from more than 1,300 campuses to fewer than 500 campuses. This new strategic partnership significantly deepens that relationship. Through Gloo360, Gloo's subscription-based enterprise technology, data and consulting platform, InterVarsity will receive end-to-end technology management services spanning IT infrastructure, cybersecurity and enterprise systems, providing a resilient, scalable technology backbone that supports long-term ministry growth. "This partnership benefits our current technology staff while simultaneously advancing InterVarsity's broader ministry goals. Our technology team will transition to Gloo360, where they will continue serving InterVarsity's needs while contributing to a shared platform that benefits the broader community of faith-based organizations," added Paul Kulp, who has served as InterVarsity's Vice President of Technology for the past seven years. "We're excited about the possibilities this collaboration creates for serving students and faculty across the U.S." "We are honored to expand our partnership with InterVarsity," said Paul Alexander, Senior Vice President, Gloo360. "Having served with Cru in the campus ministry space for 30 years, I understand both the mission and distinct needs of these ministries. By strengthening InterVarsity's technology capabilities, we can help their teams spend less time managing systems and more time engaging students and faculty in meaningful ways across campuses nationwide." InterVarsity joins a growing number of large ministries partnering with Gloo to modernize their technology operations through Gloo's shared services offerings, reflecting a broader shift towards collaboration and efficiency across the faith and nonprofit ecosystem. About InterVarsity Christian Fellowship/USA InterVarsity Christian Fellowship/USA is an interdenominational ministry reaching students and faculty on over 700 U.S. college and university campuses nationwide.
