Programs
Storefront: Our Storefront wellness center lies on a busy street in the heart of a district known for live music community events. We are along the footprint of the annual Adams Avenue Street Fair, Adams Ave Unplugged, and Art Around Adams (on hiatus since Pandemic.) During each of these larger events we host and curate a stage of music in our parking lot and offer tours and sample sessions with our providers. We feel music is one of the greatest healing forces in this World and like combining music with healing at every opportunity. Our organization began years ago with a Healing Arts Festival in San Diego's Balboa Park and these mini-festivals allow us to go back to our roots in the community's music scene. This year we brought different artists together for free live performances while promoting our other programs and outreach efforts to hundreds of attendees and guests.
$477,487 spent$484,979 earned by the program90% of program spendingFree Clinic: In 2024, our Free "Integrative Health Nights" program operated for 4 hours each week in a local community center offsite space. There we provided approx. 1600 free holistic health services including over 550 acupuncture sessions, 290 massages, 200 chiropractic sessions, and approx. 350 Naturopathic Medical consults. We provided workforce training for over 50 indiviual student interns from Pacific College of Health Science, Bastyr University, Crawford High School and others. We employed 2 paid staff members for this program and about a dozen volunteers. We hope to ramp up our operations in the future to grow our programs and our capacity to serve the community even more.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2019 to 2020, from $13k to $89k (+574%).

Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2017 0% · 2020 6% · 2021 3% · 2022 3% · 2024 3%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
