    New strategic addition to the MinistryPlatform ecosystem enables customized donor requests.

    April 27, 2022, Florence, S.C.ACS Technologies®, the world’s leading ministry software and service solutions provider, announces a new partnership with AskGenius. The AskGenius solution will enhance the impact of Catholic diocesan appeals and campaigns while simplifying the process for diocesan leaders. With this announcement, leaders can use AskGenius to extend the power of MinistryPlatform to make customized requests for every donor. 

    “MinistryPlatform has extensive features to enable diocesan campaigns and appeals. AskGenius adds the data and behavioral science for personalized fundraising communications,” says Terry Poplava, Senior Manager ACST Catholic, “it’s an excellent addition to the MP ecosystem in service to the Catholic Church.”

    AskGenius is a powerful tool that uses giving history, wealth research, and demographic data to make asking for money simple, efficient, and effective. Over 1,000,000 personalized “ask” amounts have been created to help recapture lapsed donors, boost recurring giving, and raise the success of future appeals.

    “The AskGenius team is proud to partner with Ministry Platform,” says Nic Prenger, President of AskGenius. “We’re big fans of ACS Technologies’ software. This new partnership will help organizations manage their donor database and then use that information to set better “ask” amounts and raise more money.”

    “We applied AskGenius strategies to our annual appeal and raised an additional $1 million while our average gift went up 16 percent!” – Kelly Halaszyn, Diocesan Director of Development

    MinistryPlatform is the customizable church management platform that goes beyond the parish and diocesan operations to truly personalize ministry so that you can inspire your parishioners and accompany them in their journey. Now diocesan leaders can take the comprehensive stewardship capabilities of MinistryPlatform to a new level by connecting to AskGenius to customize specific gift requests.

    “(MinistryPlatform is) flexible and very easy to work with. They bent over backward to accommodate our one-to-many diocese to parish model with great support. We now have MinistryPlatform serving parishes, and every department at the diocese benefits by using it.” – Ron Hurt, Archdiocese of Baltimore
