What was the goal of The Church of St. Michael & St. George Organ Campaign, and how much was raised?
Our goal for the Organ Campaign was $3.8 million. This figure reflects three components: $2.8 million for the Schoenstein & Co. Opus 188 instrument itself, $500,000 for site preparation — the chamber renovation and structural and electrical work needed to house the organ — and $500,000 to establish an Organ Endowment Fund to support its future tuning, maintenance, and repair. As of Monday, September 14, 2026, we have received $4,052,437 in gifts and pledges, exceeding our goal.
We are deeply grateful to everyone who gave to this campaign — your generosity has made it possible for this instrument to become part of worship at St. Michael & St. George for generations to come. Thank you for believing in this project and for helping bring it to life.
How will surplus funds be used?
The original $3.8 million goal was allocated across three priorities: the instrument, site preparation, and the Organ Endowment Fund. Funds raised in excess of the goal will support the continued site preparation as the installation is completed and additional investment in the Organ Endowment Fund to further strengthen long-term support for the instrument’s care.
