IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartVIGrp/ExplanationTxt0Fundraising activities occur continuously throughout the year including donation solicitations at events fundraising phone calls fundraising mailers and grant applications. In 2024 800 individuals were solicited for donations directly and 3,000 via listserv and social media. 10 grant applications were submitted. Every event is public all workshops are for the public and we also hold public rituals -- all is free. We have hundreds of people attending events throughout the year especially those held online. Unfortunately fundraising has been tough and we did not get all the donations weve solicited or the grants we applied for although we did better with grants. We are actively working to increase public support.
