elevate your fundraising
with faith and stewardship
With Mission 360, assess current stewardship and development strategy, programs, and activities to determine their effectiveness in teaching Christian stewardship and raising the funds needed to live out the Church’s mission in your diocese.
Mission360™
Mission 360 is a comprehensive assessment of diocesan stewardship and development programs, rooted in principles of Christian stewardship. GP Catholic Services is the leader in recognizing the need for a solid stewardship and development program, especially as dioceses face unrest among the faithful in light of recent allegations and scandal. Mission360 is designed to respond to this need, and integrates mission, ministry, and fundraising at the diocesan and foundation level. The assessment allows you to: evaluate and strengthen internal stewardship and development structures, staffing, and investment; set actionable strategy for fundraising growth; develop effective multicultural communications; and engage leaders, staff, donors, clergy, and volunteers in a meaningful and sustainable spirituality of stewardship.

"We have benefited greatly from GP Catholic Services' expertise in the areas of stewardship and development, and their counsel has been a sure guide through the challenging and difficult months since the scandalous revelations of last summer. Now more than ever, the work of the Lord must continue: to proclaim the Good News, to pass on the faith to future generations and to care for the poor and vulnerable. With the help of GP Catholic Services, we have continued to reach out to faithful Catholics, inviting them to help us serve God’s people, and the results have been deeply satisfying."
