Overview
Mission
The Association for Music and Imagery has been created to maintain and uphold the integrity of The Bonny Method of Guided Imagery and Music and to nurture and support all those who have been trained in it. In addition, The Association for Music and Imagery certifies Primary Trainers in The Bonny Method, sets minimum standards for the content of training programs in The Bonny Method, and certifies those training programs that meet these standards. In addition, The Association for Music and Imagery publishers a scholarly journal every other year and publishes two newsletters each year. In addition, The Association for Music and Imagery has established guidelines for the continuing education of practitioners of the Bonny Method and will make available to its members resources for this purpose.
What it reported doing in 2025
The AMI Professional Development committee awarded the Francis Smith Goldburg Scholarship to a student training to become an AMI Fellow and the Linda Keiser Mardis Research grant to two members to support their research into the benefits and use of the method.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 64% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 96% 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
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
