But in this case it isn't a matter of using the money wisely because there isn't any money to be used. What we have now is nothing so anything would be better than what we have. If we have to buy new we probably won't be able to spend over $500 and even that will be a challenge to get approved. I was just hoping there might be a church out there that has recently upgraded and might have a working projector to sell for less than $500 (thus making it easier to get approved). Can't hurt to ask right?

My concern was really that I've seen donated equipment that doesn't work well in the application and thus doesn't get used. Anyone considering donating a projector might like to know that it will work in the application and not possibly being better utilized by someone else.

Just wanted to give an update. It looks like our church is going to donate the money for a projector for the camp And Dan thanks for the link to the one on Amazon, I think that's what we'll go with.

If you can't get one donated or used, you can (for example) buy two different 3200 lumen XGA projectors for $500 from TigerDirect. ($499.99 with free shipping)
or for $345 you can buy a 2700 lumen XGA projector from Amazon (with free shipping).
