ACST Catholic Announces MinistryPlatform for Diocesan Appeals

A New Solution for Diocesan Stewardship and Development

Florence, SC, September 26, 2024 — ACST Catholic announces the launch of MinistryPlatform for Diocesan Appeals, a powerful new process and reporting in MinistryPlatform designed to elevate diocesan stewardship efforts. This new functionality offers dioceses a fully integrated solution for annual appeals and capital campaigns, bringing together all aspects of donor engagement and donation management under one unified platform.

“Every diocesan stewardship leader has a mission to inspire the faithful to live as disciples of Christ. With MinistryPlatform for Diocesan Appeals, we’re empowering them to conduct their appeals and campaigns directly through MinistryPlatform,” said Terry Poplava, ACST Catholic General Manager. “This end-to-end solution strengthens and streamlines stewardship efforts, making it easier for diocesan leaders to personalize messages to engage the recipient in the mission outcomes of their appeal.”

MinistryPlatform for Diocesan Appeals offers leaders and staff access to real-time reporting at all levels, providing the insights needed to make informed decisions. The system’s multi-channel communication capabilities allow diocesan leaders to engage parishioners and donors wherever they are, while custom journeys create meaningful connections with selected audiences.

“We’ve designed the Diocesan Appeals features in MinistryPlatform with the unique needs of Catholic dioceses in mind,” said John Biskner, Senior Product Strategist for the Catholic market. “By incorporating advanced forecasting tools, diocesan leaders can confidently plan and predict outcomes, ensuring the success of their stewardship initiatives.”

When paired with MinistryPlatform’s Pledge Tools and MP eGiving, parishioners are able to pledge and give effortlessly, supporting the appeal with just a few clicks. This integration provides diocesan leaders with a comprehensive, automated system for inspiring and nurturing generosity and managing their appeal efforts with grace and efficiency. 

MinistryPlatform for Diocesan Appeals represents the intersection of faith and technology, providing dioceses with the tools they need to ignite their mission and fuel their giving.
