These are uncertain times, with inflation and other forces increasing prices (and anxiety!) for many of us. While those same forces impact our Fellowship finances, rest assured that our Finance team has been working hard to keep us on course. We’re happy to provide you this update on our overall budget, our Annual Budget Drive, and our Endowment Fund.
Budget:
The MUUF 2022-23 budget is a relatively austere one, with our $632K total budget reflecting an increase of just 1% over the previous year. Katy Julich, the rest of our staff, and our Finance Committee have been working hard to increase revenues and manage expenses. HUGE THANKS are due to our Service Auction team and participating MUUF members who combined to raise over $32,000 this year!
Annual Budget Drive:
The large majority of our budget is funded by you – our members – and we are so very grateful for the 157 pledges made during our Annual Budget Drive (ABD), bringing our pledge total to $464,900. Still, we are currently $36,150 from our ABD goal, the amount we need to fully fund our Fellowship’s staff, activities, and good works this year. If you have not yet pledged, we’ll be reaching out to discuss how we might enlist your support. We look forward to talking with you!
