SHARED PLATE PROGRAM:

BFUU often chooses a partner organization to share the donations made to the collection plate during worship services. Donations made to the plate are split 50/50 between BFUU and the plate partner, unless otherwise designated by the donor. The month's donations are tabulated in the middle of the following month (to allow for mailed donations to be included) and sent to the plate partner during the following check cycle.

 

BFUU is a 501(c)3 nonprofit religious organization. Your donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by the IRS and other taxing authorities. Confirmation of our status is available here.
