Overview

Mission

To connect, develop, and serve a vibrant global community of MMTCP alumni.

What it reported doing in 2025

Built a website to be used by members as well as non-members of the alumni association. The website provides internal and external directories of those alumni who wish to be included. This allows fellow alumni as well as members of the public to find meditation teachers with the appropriate specialties. In addition, the website provides up-to-date resources-articles and hyperlinks to talks, etc.-to help members continue their growth as teachers. As of the end of the year, mmtcp had approximately 1000 members who have paid dues and are regularly accessing the website.

Operating model

Revenue model
Membership-supported. 96% of the money available for current operations came from membership dues.
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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Assets have declined or grown slowly and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
