       Pilgrim Chapel Funding

 

The 2009 operating budget for Pilgrim Center, Inc., the governing body that oversees the Pilgrim Chapel facility, is $97,000. This amount includes both chapel-related expenses as well as the cost of operating the Uplifting Westport youth programs (Hyde Park Children’s Film Festival, Midtown Easter Frolic and Egg Hunt, etc.). Approximately 65% of Pilgrim Center’s income is generated by activities held at the chapel. The balance comes through the generosity of individuals, corporations and foundations supportive of Pilgrim Chapel’s public ministry. Pilgrim Center, Inc. is a 501 c 3 tax exempt organization.

       

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 ($1000 each)

       Stained Glass Windows ($750)  

       Circular Stained Glass Window (Jesus Healing the Deaf) ($2,500)
