Overview

Mission

Values to Action works to advance nurturance in environments throughout society. Nurturing environments, minimize aversive or stressful experiences, richly reinforce all types of prosocial behavior, limit opportunities and influences toward problem behavior, and promote psychological flexibility, which is a pragmatic way of living that focuses on living your values, while accepting thoughts and feelings that may discourage valued action.

What it reported doing in 2025

To help organizations, communities, states, and nations evolve effective ways to nurture the wellbeing of every person through consulting and education.

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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
