Overview
Mission
Encouraging long-term awareness and responsibility on issues that shape a sustainable world for our descendants.
What it reported doing in 2024
The organization promoted the benefits of long term thinking and responsibility as a way of life by holding seminars, providing training and activity supporting local and global community development and empowerment.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- 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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
