Overview

Mission

PIE builds the capacity of mission-driven organizations to evaluate impact, promote learning, and facilitate equitable change.

What it reported doing in 2025

PIE Org provided planning implementation and evaluation services to non-profit organizations on a sliding scale.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 97% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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 a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
