I know that Familysearch has had, and continues to have
teams around the world digitizing collections of genealogical value from organizations like genealogcial societies, historical societies, libraries and more . . .

if a given organization was interested in having some of their items digitized - who would they contact? and is it usually free?

any page that summarizes this information?

    Thats donations. . .
    Im talking about an organization who really isnt donating anything per se -
    but wants to have FamilySearch come in and do all the digitizing of a large collection. (with Familysearch's cameras and equipment)

    Thats a very nice summary . . .
    but it appears, unless I am missing something - - totally absent as to who a person can contact or what steps to follow to "get the ball rolling" - in an actual request of digitization.

    Here is a group that might help you.

    FamilySearch Affiliate Libraries — FamilySearch Community

    If you belong to a Genealogical group you may be able to become an Affiliate Library with FamilySearch and get help with digitizing.

    I could be wrong - but I dont think being an "affiliate library" really has anything to do with digitizing projects.
