What it reported doing in 2025
From what I read in the IRS 990-EZ requirements, this is not required for an organization with less than $50,000 income and expenditures. However, this past year, we have constructed and helped to fund a community health center for the Yanomame people (Amazonian jungle); sponsored and executed a backwards walk across Scandinavia to raise funds for work in the Congo and Mid-East; sent a family of four from Italy to Sri Lanka to teach at a grade school in Elabadagama, as well as adding to the structure and performing maintenance; Funded a 10,000 INR artist's project each month; sponsored two artists to local performance festivals; maintained a small outreach center and mobile art museum in Santeniketan, West Bengal, india (donor-specified donations we passed through to the final recipients); Produced a mural as part of the biennale art festival in Kolkata; Sent our liaison to our partner site in northern Italy to help upgrade their printing shop and work in the crop field; held two in-person planning "convergences" to focus our directions of outreach and prioritize individual projects. The amount here is simply our operating totals for these good works.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.
The verdict
MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
