As a 501(c)3, we publicly report how money moves in and out of our small organization. This page is a version of this reporting——offering transparency, acknowledging and recognizing the support we receive, and presenting an overview for all who may find it useful.

We are an organization that encompasses exchanges between a growing community of staff, board members, partners, collaborators, interlocutors, volunteers, and supporters. We’re so grateful to everyone who has contributed to our programs over the years and thankful for our collaborators today.

This page was introduced December 21, 2023, and will continue to gain resolution especially as we finalize our accounting for the calendar year (our fiscal year runs July-June!). We are always learning and evolving——send us an email if you’d like to share feedback.
