What it reported doing in 2024
Website, Blog and Social Media: We maintained and improved a robust, comprehensive, and technologically sophisticated web site and regular blog to provide the public with detailed, user-friendly, and highly practical information on relational wisdom. This required regular upgrades, improvements and additions to the website, as well as weekly blog posts. Each post contained a brief, practical lesson on relational wisdom that people could put into practice that day in any setting of their lives. The posts contained reflection questions designed to stimulate personal application and group discussion. We had numerous emails telling us of how people were changing individually and also growing together in groups. By the end of the year, we had added 1,200 people to our mailing list, which now numbers 12,600 resulting in 19,000 visits to our website every month.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 77% 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
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
