Terminology Change

We now use the term "Contributions" instead of "Stewardship" in new, non-Catholic instances. Consider making this change to your system if needed.

In a continuous effort to improve your experience, we've been reviewing the language used in MinistryPlatform. One item in the navigation menu stuck out to us: "Stewardship". This term overstates the intended purpose of this section. We believe that the term "Contributions" aligns better with the tasks you complete in this section.

We will not force this change to your system, but you should consider updating the page section for consistency. Moving forward, new customers will see this section labeled as "Contributions". We have updated this language in our Help Center and training materials, and will use this term in community posts and other resources.

Note: If you are using a Catholic instance of MinistryPlatform, the term "Contributions" is already used, so you don't need to make any changes.

For clarity when using these resources, we encourage you to update your system to use this language. First, talk to your IT SPoC about making this change. Then, if you decide to change it, here's how:

  1. Go to System Setup > Page Sections.

  2. Locate and open the Stewardship page section.

  3. Click Edit Record.

  4. Change the Page Section from "Stewardship" to "Contributions".

  5. Click Save.

To see your change immediately, use the Refresh Cache button in the About dialog box. Otherwise, changes will be applied within 24 hours. For more information on page sections, see the Help Center articles on System Setup Section and Pages.
