Overview

Mission

Reimagine's mission is to help all people face adversity, loss, and mortality, and channel the hard parts of life into meaningful action and growth.

What it reported doing in 2024

Reimagine has hosted numerous events since 2016, focusing on themes of life, loss, and love, including hybrid and virtual festivals in los angeles and worldwide, and hundreds of experiences in the san francisco bay area and New York city, fostering community healing and growth through art, dialogue, and collective action. In addition to producing its own events, reimagine provides community leaders, organizations, and individuals with free training and toolkits. This ensures well-designed events that are inclusive and accessible. The organization encourages event producers to make their events free or low-cost and provides small stipends through a formal application process.

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 98% 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 most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad.
