Overview
Mission
The society is an interdisciplinary organization for the study of the basic sciences and medical and therapeutic applications of subtle energies.
What it reported doing in 2012
Produced journal issues, and distributed journals; a magazine was produced.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 100% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- 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
REVIEW - 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.
