What Cathedral of the Pines Foundation does
Mission
Cathedral of the pines is a national memorial dedicated to the memory and honor of all americans who serve the nation. In the search for peace we are open to the public as a place of spiritual, cultural, and environmental appreciation. We promote the legacy and well-being of all veterans and their families through services, workshops, and events where all are honored and valued. Our grounds inspire peace, tranquility, and natural beauty in a way that honors, respects, and sustains the viability of our environment.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
The outdoor theater with stone altar and tall pine trees offers an ideal place for baptisms and weddings with a panoramic view of grand monadnock mountain overlooking the extraordinary grounds. Within the 236 acres there is a cemetary for the final resting place among the outdoor chapels, gardens, and panoramic views. We welcome more than 23,000 visitors annually from all over the world to come and participate in our events, explore the grounds, meditate in the chapels and gardens, and learn about our history. We offer a summer sunset series of stories, mothers day, annual blessing of the bikers, plus fraternal order of the eagles services and school.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
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 $1.8M to $2.2M (+21%).
How it's funded, over time
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: 2022 9% · 2024 6%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 7 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2018 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income rose $8k → $11k.
2 of 4 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 71% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of CATHEDRAL OF THE PINES FOUNDATION’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
CATHEDRAL OF THE PINES FOUNDATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 71% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
71% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund CATHEDRAL OF THE PINES FOUNDATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 100% · 2019 74% · 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
71% of CATHEDRAL OF THE PINES FOUNDATION's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $42k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside New Hampshire, across 2 states.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $101k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
