Overview

Mission

Bread & wine is a nonprofit organization that provides a space for seekers of all spiritual backgrounds to explore personal beliefs, as we inspire and pursue curiosity, creativity, honest conversation, and full acceptance of our differences. Bread & wine hosts free monthly gatherings, private quarterly retreats, publishes a weekly podcast accompanied by special guests, and creates music to share with the world. The intention of the organization is to build unity as we grow in self-awareness, developing healthy internal worlds that then generate a healthy external world. In a time when division is intensifying among religions, races, cultures, politics, etc., we provide an open invitation with this neutral ground so we can explore all that is within and around us.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
