Berrien Unitarian Universalist Fellowship annual operating expenses are approximately $50,000. Revenue is generated from pledged donations, unpledged donations, cash donations, building use, and endowment income. About 50% of expenses are covered by pledges and other cash donations. Endowment income provides approximately 20% of Berrien UUs annual operating expenses.
To raise the remaining 30% of annual operating funds, various fundraisers are held throughout the year.
