Overview
Mission
Lotus network believes in the power of connections: raising awareness of purposeful living by inspiring women of all ages to fill their days doing something that is authentic and gratifying, encouraging women to take on new challenges physically, mentally and spiritually, spreading the message that age is no longer a limitation and last but certainly not least, working to reduce isolation and loneliness by nurturing old friendships, encouraging new relationships and cultivating a desire for personal growth.
What it reported doing in 2025
Lotus network's mission speaks to the important and often unfulfilled needs and wants that are deep within us. What's surfacing for so many is a need for intentionality: to live with purpose, to grow into our potential, and to experience the profound joy from meaningful relationships and connection. There is consensus among medical professionals that being socially connected has a very positive impact on our mental health and even helps the performance of our cardiovascular, endocrine, and immune systems. We like to think of positive connections as a true "superpower"! The pandemic forced lotus network, like every organization, to shift priorities not just in how we as an organization come together, but in the substance of our programs. We created timely topics, a monthly online program featuring a variety of subject-matter experts who share their expertise and provide valuable insights, tools and techniques that inspire personal growth and, importantly, help us traverse the ups and downs of life.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 76% 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
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
