Overview

Mission

Soil & Soul grows the well-being of people, place, and planet.

What it reported doing in 2025

Collective Mindfulness Programs and services that support holistic well-being for children, youth, and parents through mindfulness training and skill-building activities.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 81% 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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
