Overview
Mission
The organization supports the development of Buddhist chaplaincy and contemplative care through community building professional affiliation and program development. During the tax year the organization focused on establishing infrastructure and raising funds to support a future conference dedicated to advancing Buddhist chaplaincy and interspiritual dialogue. Funds received during the year included contributions designated to support this future program. The organization engaged limited contract labor and maintained professional memberships to support its mission organizational development and outreach. A portion of the funds raised was used to secure conference-related services including venue arrangements which are recorded as prepaid expenses. These costs will be recognized as program service expenses in the subsequent tax year when the conference is held and program activities are fully executed.

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.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
