Overview
Mission
As a Vajrayana Buddhist organisation, our main goal is to reduce suffering. At times this is homeless outreach, with provisions and weather goods, other times this is saving wildlife and wild lands. Reducing the suffering of all humans and non humans around us is our goal, and our way of life.
What it reported doing in 2025
Partnering with local organisations and city initiatives to identify public and private lands that can be rehabbed and restored. These will be conducted as local projects that highlight the importance of maintaining biodiversity.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- 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
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filed totals do not add up and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
