Overview

Mission

To engage, educate and empower the American in the critical political, social, environmental end economic issues of our day.

What it reported doing in 2019

The World Tapping Circle program providing education on Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) capacities to individuals and facilitators through weekly programs to serve participants, as well as periodic facilitator trainings throughout the year.

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

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of voting board members are independent.
