Overview
Mission
The Sisterhood of Avalon acknowledges that all women are reflections of the Divine Feminine and seeks to create a home where women can journey together on the path to self-discovery, spiritual awakening and personal wisdom.
What it reported doing in 2025
Ninefold festival - the organization hosts an annual, two-day conference with the goal of creating a space where women can join together and become immersed in women's community while exploring aspects of the avalonian tradition. It includes a keynote, presentations, and panel discussions. While prior to covid this was an in-person, residential conference, since then this event has been conducted fully online. In 2025 there were 127 individuals who attended virtually.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- 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 program spending has declined or grown slowly.
