The upside and the not so good, down side of the process.
My church (of 60 members) ,built in the 60's
has finally decided to install air conditioning.
And thought I would ask here prior to proposing it.
Thanks in advance for those choosing to offer assistance.

old rugged crossI cannot remember the member who is a pilot and during the plandemic he used a Christian site for donations for their fight against vaccine mandates. Might of been the one Q posted. Not sure. But it was easy to use and never solicited me after my donation.

220-9erUnless your thoughts are to get donations from outside of the church members, I can't see any value in using any service like that.
Hopefully the church would have a way to account for donations that are earmarked for a specific use or project like that and wouldn't pay fees to a third party.

tsmccullIf you do decide to use a third party fund collection company, be sure to check what percentage they retain (if any) before agreeing to it.

I am not in the fund raising loop,
As I research this,
There are a couple hundred churches in front of us seeking donations for all kinds of stuff.
