IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Public Awareness Outreach: We produced 12 monthly group letters in three languages (English, Spanish, Italian) that are circulated among our membership and others within the spiritual community. These letters include information and links of interest to our membership, including support for the United Nations, support for ending climate change, and a special group meditation. We also resumed quarterly publication of our Newsletter, producing issues for Fall 2022 and Summer 2022. This free newsletter is distributed to the entire School membership and also upon request. In 2022 we sent out 1,284 of them. It highlights examples of goodwill in action in the world as well as interesting publications and websites to foster partnership with other non-profits. We translated materials into other languages to reach a wider audience. A member of our Outreach committee underwent training in Social Media Marketing to learn a new approach in managing social media. This proved effective as our Facebook page went from 4,965 followers to 5,100 followers. Furthermore, we created an Instagram page which acquired 36 followers in half a year. We continued to update new videos on YouTube, and the channel acquired over 25,000 viewers. Our mailing list was sent out to 1,824 people. In addition we created an entirely new and updated website. This entailed having staff members trained in WordPress and HTML. A total of 335 pages were created. To keep up with new privacy legislation we added a privacy statement and cookie policy to our new website. We responded to 60 miscellaneous requests, sent out bookmarks, booklets, and leaflets, in three languages.
IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0Student Services: 435 members receive our yearly conference set, which is a document composed of study excerpts on a particular subject, three original conference talks and a conference report...54 students received lesson sets and individual commentaries on their work in three languages. We maintain a lending library for school members who reside in the US.
