Overview

Mission

To strengthen our social fabric and foster a more compassionate, inclusive, civil society, by reweaving the wisdom of our traditional stories, both sacred and secular, and new understandings into education and public life.

What it reported doing in 2025

Through our roundtables, we help build inclusive communities - whether in a school, a university, organizations, towns, and cities - our interactive presentations allow all stakeholders to create the tools they need to live, study, and flourish together without hatred and divisiveness. We like to say, everyone is welcome, just leave your hatred at the door we offer a turn-key intergenerational oral history program, "reweaving the fabric." this project allows young people to connect with the elders who built their communities, and through their stories learn and value the core wisdom of their region. We hope this helps rebuild a sense of pride in our communities largely lost in today's fast-paced world. Using the power of story to explore the missing link between character education and a positive, ethical culture in your community, and county workplaces.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 82% 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
