Overview

Mission

Primary purpose is to present educational material and spiritual support services related to understanding the survival of consciousness after death, presented by noted experts in afterlife research.

What it reported doing in 2025

The afterlife education foundation (aef) was founded in 2010 in response to the need for an expanded worldwide conversation about the survival of consciousness after death. Our primary activity is the hosting of an annual conference which attracts between 300-400 people each year. The conference is the foundations's primary source of income.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 90% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
