Transparency

How the collective is supported.

A small nonprofit is only trustworthy if it says out loud what it holds and where the money goes. These numbers are pulled from our own records and updated nightly.

$— Contributions YTD Pooled operating & scholarship
Sessions held One-to-one, real time
Wall posts answered By the guide & practitioners
Scholarships granted Fully-funded readings

Contributions by month

Twelve months, drawn to scale.

Bars represent monthly total contributions in USD. Hover a bar for the exact amount.

Numbers update nightly. Contributions are pooled — every dollar backs both operating costs and scholarships, and the annual report shows the full split.

Governance & Finances

Who is accountable, and how the money is split.

A nonprofit is only as trustworthy as the people who answer for it. Here is our legal standing, who sits on the board, and the plain shape of where a dollar goes once it arrives.

Legal standing

  • ·Employer Identification Number (EIN). [ EIN to be published here once assigned and confirmed ].
  • ·IRS determination & Form 990. Our determination letter will be linked here once the IRS issues it. Form 990 will be filed and posted here by [ filing date pending — first fiscal year not yet closed ], as this is our first year of operation.
  • ·Candid (GuideStar) Seal of Transparency. Not yet claimed. We intend to publish our nonprofit profile and seal here once we are eligible.
  • ·State charitable-solicitation registration. [ registration status by state pending — installer to confirm and list ].

Board & leadership

Who holds the collective in trust.

The board is unpaid, meets independently of the guide, and is responsible for reviewing these finances each year.

[ board member name ] [ role — e.g. Chair, Treasurer, Secretary ] [ term start — installer fills ]
No board member is compensated for their service. The guide does not sit on the board. A fuller introduction to the board is on the Mission page.

Where a dollar goes
