In 2021, our 75th anniversary, GFO established a fund to purchase a permanent home.
A permanent home will allow us to:
We seek to raise a minimum of $500,000 for a down payment on a mortgage. Funds to cover the costs of renovating the new space and moving expenses must be raised as well.
Our hope is to find a building, renovate it to our needs, and move in by late spring, 2026 - our 80th anniversary.
Will you invest in a stable future for the GFO and the genealogists following in our footsteps?
