Overview

Mission

Art of Living believes that when God intersects our lives, we become better, happier and more fulfilled. Each person has purpose and a unique mission. Art of Living believes in each person's potential; in their God given gifts, in their vocation, and in their crucial contribution to the world. Art of Living desires to see people grow, move forward and be happy. Art of Living journeys with organizations because it cares about their mission and wants to see them thrive. Art of Living believes that investing in people transforms lives, homes, offices, cities and the world. The vision is that all people would discover the art of living.

What it reported doing in 2025

Coaching: Art of Living has an instinctive and unwavering passion for nurturing personal relationships in order to help others fulfill their God-given potential. This engaging, one-on-one approach has led to a journey with all kinds of people from various walks of life; helping people discover the art of living and create the path they wish to see in their personal, spiritual, and professional lives. Art of Living understands that not all people want or need counseling or need or want to see a pastor. We land in the middle of those two areas meeting people where they are and moving them forward. Art of Living works with men, women, marriages, millennials and leaders. We held around 40 events in 2025.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 79% 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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
