Overview

Mission

The Cadmus Corporation has as its mission the support, financially through charitable donations, administratively through volunteer assistance, and educationally through workshops and courses, activities in the Southern New Hampshire area and elsewhere that are an extension and elaboration of the original work of Dr. Rudolf Steiner, Austrian philosopher, scientist and artist (1862-1925). This includes Waldorf Education; Bio-dynamic Agriculture; Steiners Spiritual Science, or Anthroposophy, which concerns a modern path of spiritual self-development; an Anthroposophically-extended approach to medicine and the care of the developmentally disabled; and new artistic impulses and new social forms inspired out of the worldview of Anthroposophy. Agricultural work includes acquisition and holding of farm and or conservation land for food production and the benefit of the community and environment.

What it reported doing in 2024

Amounts represent $86,428 funds raised to purchase and renovate housing for farmers in connection with the Temple Wilton Community Farm, the "Farm", which were capitalized for accounting purposes plus 2,000 rent charged to the farm. The funds raised were used to purchase and renovate a new Farmer's Residence during March 2025 for $331,900. Not included above are the values of the properties contributed by the Educational Community Farm ("ECF") as described above and reflected in Schedule B as a non-cash contribution.

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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
