It’s what we do that makes a difference. The Office of Mission Advancement (OMA) is an extensive support system for parishes, schools, ministries, and programs across the entire Archdiocese of Atlanta. We offer both general guidance and specific strategies and tools for implementation for:

  • gift processing for Annual Appeal, projects, other funds, and stocks
  • stewardship
  • capital campaigns
  • parish offertory
  • annual appeal
  • second collections
  • financial and analytical modeling
  • marketing and promotions
  • donor analytics
  • customized donation tracking and reporting

The needs and challenges across one of the fastest-growing dioceses in the country are vast. Not all parishes, schools, ministries, and programs are able to fund their mission from their immediate circle of parishioners and supporters.  

OMA advances the mission of the church by connecting the generous people of the archdiocese to projects and programs outside of their main parish providing many opportunities to put their faith into action and serve one another in Christ.

The Annual Appeal only covers a portion of the different ministry's needs. Each ministry must still fundraise for their additional program or project needs. Your donation to the Mission Advancement Fund can directly help ministries with additional program and project funding needs extending their reach in parishes, the archdiocese, and our community. You can help today. Every donation matters!

 We are thrilled to share the tangible results of our efforts in 2023 and early 2024. We are deeply grateful to the parishioners of the Archdiocese of Atlanta for their generosity, which has made these achievements possible:
