Overview
Mission
"wellness" should not be a luxury available to only a few. It is fundamental to human health and happiness. As such, it should be widely accessible. Our mission is to offer an abundance of wellness services and classes that meet the health needs of our community.
What it reported doing in 2025
Community education - wellness based classes offered to the community free of charge. We served 14 community members who attended a variety of classes including, but not limited to, foundational health, home health remedies, mindfulness practices, and local farm tours.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 85% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- 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
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and assets have declined or grown slowly.
