What they do
Conducted Weeklong Conference Titled Spiritual Experience: A Scientific Philosophical and Theological Retreat In Recent Decades We Have Seen An Increase In Scientific Philosophical and Theological Research Focused On The Processes Involved In Spiritual Transformation. This Has Generated A More Comprehensive Science-based Understanding Including Physical Psychological and Substance-induced Approaches That Promote Intentional Opening to Spiritual Experience. There is Evidence That We Have A Spiritual Core Central and Innermost Biologically Wired Into Us That is Normally Outside of Awareness That There Are Ways to Open and Engage That Core and That When People Open to That Awareness They Often Describe The Experience As Mystical or Numinous.
Should I give to this charity?
Of every $100 spent, about $76.00 was reported for mission work. Use the spending picture below and ask what results that work produced.

Money made simple
Ask these three easy questions
- Who did you help? Ask for a recent story or report that shows real results.
- What will my money do? Ask exactly what your gift will pay for.
- Is this really the charity? Give only through its official website or confirmed phone number.
Bottom line: Do not decide from a name, mission statement, or tax status alone. Look at where the money went, then ask what changed, who was helped, and what your gift will do. YouCanGiveBack does not endorse or grade organizations.
Financial picture
A plain-language look at the latest Form 990 figures available. These numbers help you ask better questions; they do not, by themselves, rate whether a charity is good or bad.
How each $100 of revenue was used
The large number compares each expense with revenue. The smaller number shows its share of total expenses.
Gray means reported revenue left after expenses for this filing year. It does not necessarily mean cash sitting in a bank account.
Has the pattern changed?
Colored bars = expense mix: how each year’s expenses were divided. Total expenses vs. revenue shows whether the charity spent less or more than it received. The current filing is first.
Money in and money out
Reported spending amounts
Mission work means the Form 990 category called program services. These are reported accounting categories—not an independent measurement of results.
