Overview
Mission
The Spiritual Life Center enhances the spiritual wellbeing of people from any spiritual or religious tradition as well as those with no religious affiliation. The organization serves approximatly 370 people each year, many of who receive multiple units of service.
What it reported doing in 2024
The Spiritual Life Center plans and hosts a wide range of spiritual programs for the general public. Each year we offer programs that support our primary mission of providing support for those who seek a deeper spiritual life and that reflect our core values of inclusivity, presence, deep listening, and compassion. Some of our programs are collaborative efforts with Hartford International University for Religion and Peace. Please note we welcome individuals from any spiritual or religious background, as well as those with no religious affiliation. The major source of our income is from contributions from those we serve.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
- 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 - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
