Fundraising for your new organ
Approximately 20% of the organs we provide to churches are funded by a congregational fundraising campaign.  Every campaign we've been involved with has successfully achieved its goal within three to sixteen weeks.

If your church needs to plan a fundraising campaign for your new organ and you're wondering how to get started and ultimately be successful, Nelson Dodge's 2022 book Fundraising for Your New Organ explains the process in complete detail--based on the successful experiences of the many churches we've worked with.

Fundraising for an organ is easier than you might think, but requires careful planning and organization.  It's all explained in this 80-page book.
