Overview
Mission
To research and develop a culture centered on wholesomeness by facilitating collaborations that explore and promote healthy group dynamics, authentic communication, and mutual understanding across diverse perspectives.
What it reported doing in 2024
The organization only recently incorporated in July 2024. Key activities during the reporting period included completing legal formation, obtaining 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status, and fulfilling state compliance registration requirements. Additionally, the organization initiated its programmatic activities by conducting early-stage retreat experiments as part of its internal research and development efforts.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
- 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
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
