The Old Rugged Cross Foundation Inc. (ORCF) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to preserving the history of the hymn "The Old Rugged Cross" and the church where it was first sung publicly in 1913. Comprised of dedicated volunteers, the ORCF has successfully restored the Original Old Rugged Cross Church in Pokagon, Michigan, maintaining its appearance from the 1875-1914 era. Since its inception in 1998, the foundation has carried out extensive fundraising and volunteer efforts to maintain the church and its grounds, fostering a rich Christian heritage for future generations. Alongside ongoing projects, such as the restoration of the Old Rugged Cross Annex for community use, the ORCF invites support from individuals wishing to contribute to this significant historical work.
