Seeking info on The whole Go Fund Me phenomenon
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.

I 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.

Unless 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.

If 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.
