Ministry Platform is a database owned by ACS Technologies used by clients large and small to track community members, engagement, donations and volunteer opportunities - specifically for faith-based organizations.
GiveCentral interacts with Ministry Platform to send pledges, gifts and payments over to the database automatically, and receive donor ID updates in response. The database is built in a way to allow Dioceses or Archdioceses to have a shared tool across all managed locations - meaning more accurate donor information and updated records.
GiveCentral/Ministry Platform Integration Features
Integrated Contributions
Move donations into Ministry Platform to donor records accurately and quickly through auto-batching
Integrated Payments
collect funds for mission trips, religious education or other non-donation events using Ministry Platform’s payment widget application, and move to donor records through auto-batching
Integrated Pledges
If donors make a pledge through GiveCentral, the pledge is sent to Ministry Platform in a manner that will allow the subsequent payments to associate automatically
Donor ID Matching
After a new donor makes a gift in GiveCentral, we will receive the donor ID back from Ministry Platform reducing the manual work that an administrator needs to do to match payments with records
Processing Fee Tracking
Offer donors the option to cover the processing fees, and that information can come over into Ministry Platform without counting toward any pledge or gift totals
Parish or Fund Credits
For organizations that track a parish or specific fund credit, GiveCentral will send that through with the gifts
Option for Automatic or Manual Sync
Clients can choose to have pledges and contributions sync over to Ministry Platform automatically (in real-time), or manually - meaning they can be reviewed in GiveCentral first, and then sent over to Ministry Platform as a batch.

We're excited to introduce GC Guru to our platform. The Guru is an AI-based chat tool that will allow you to ask questions, and receive plain text responses (as well as links to our Knowledge Center as applicable).
Over the last four months we've had the Guru learn everything it can about GiveCentral - donor-facing and administrator-facing - in order to help you find answers to your questions faster, at any time of day. As more and more people provide feedback, the Guru will also be able to refine its responses.
Not only can the GC Guru help answer FAQs about GiveCentral, but it can also help your organization compose emails and communications to your community-base. It will tell you exactly where to drop in our GC SmartLinks and guide you through the send process.
Below are some ideas on how to get started interacting with the Guru!
1. How do I reconcile GiveCentral with my bank statement?2. What is a deposit report by MID?3. Can I reset a donor's password?4. Help me write an email to my donors for Easter5. Please help me create a new event
Our goal at GiveCentral is to provide industry-leading fundraising tools to our clients. As we continue to innovate, the GC Guru will continue to be able to help support your organization learn how to use the tools made available.
