Pilgrim Chapel Funding
The 2008 operating budget for Pilgrim Center, Inc. is
$107,000.
Chapel expenses include the cost of building maintenance,
utilities, improvements, debt
reduction and a salary for the director. Income
from those using the facility covers approximately
80% of the chapel’s
operating expenses. Additional funding comes through the generosity of
individuals, corporations and foundations supportive of the chapel’s public
ministry. Pilgrim Chapel
is a program of Pilgrim Center Inc. As a 501 c 3 organization, all contributions to Pilgrim Center, Inc.
are tax deductible.
Chapel fixtures are available for designation in honor
of loved ones. All contributions
are placed in the Memorial Endowment Fund with
the interest used to fund additional chapel
improvements. Below is a sample of
items available for memorial designation.
Individual Chapel Pews ($500 each)
Stained Glass Windows ($750)
Circular Stained Glass Window (Jesus Healing the Deaf)
($1,500)
