What Endless Satsang Foundation Inc does

Mission

Support the spiritual teaching and spiritual counseling work of Nirmala aka Daniel Erway and his wife, Gina Lake, through online spiritual gatherings, websites, books, online courses, audio recordings, video recordings, and individual counseling/mentoring sessions.

As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.

Programs

  1. Offering spiritual gatherings, online courses, and individual spiritual mentoring sessions in person and over the phone or internet. These are some of the most important ways our purpose is carried out due to the greater depth of teaching and spiritual instruction we can accomplish in these ways, due to the personal contact with individuals involved. This year we have expanded regular online group spiritual gatherings over the internet to seven times a week on every Tuesday, Thursday, three times on Saturday and two times on Sunday, which continue to be very popular. We also offer an online weekend intensive every 7-8 weeks. We also have continued to focus on individual spiritual mentoring sessions held mostly over the phone or internet due to the health limitations that limit the travel of our minister, Nirmala. (Expenses include a portion of the salary and minister's housing allowance for our ministers, Nirmala aka Daniel Erway and Gina Lake, as well as a portion of our advertising expenses). We have had over 15,000 attendees through out the year at our online group spiritual gatherings, and have offered over 100 one-on-one spiritual mentoring sessions. In addition, over a…

  2. Distributing over 60,000 free copies of our ebooks via internet downloads, and selling over 4,000 of our spiritual ebooks, audiobooks and paperback books written by our minister, Nirmala, and his wife, Gina Lake. Also many thousands of Nirmala and Gina Lake's audios and videos were listened to or viewed for free on Youtube and other websites that host our free teachings online. This year we continued to expand the offerings of our books and teachings to reach even more people with the spiritual message we share. (Expenses are for professional services, internet expenses, shipping and postage, supplies, and a portion of the salary and minister's housing allowance for our ministers, Nirmala aka Daniel Erway and Gina Lake, as well as a portion of our advertising expenses.)

We are constantly adding new material related to our teachings to our websites and other online venues, including Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, DailyOm.com, and other specific sites related to spiritual matters. Our own websites include endless-satsang.com, radicalhappiness.com and freespritualebooks.com. Expenses include internet expenses, professional fees for website development, and a portion of the salary and minister's housing allowance for our ministers, Nirmala aka Daniel Erway and Gina Lake, as well as a portion of our advertising expenses.

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.

2 of 2 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% 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 ENDLESS SATSANG FOUNDATION INC’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

ENDLESS SATSANG FOUNDATION INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 99% 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

100% 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 ENDLESS SATSANG FOUNDATION INC.

Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2021 99% · 2022 100% · 2023 99% — 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

100% of ENDLESS SATSANG FOUNDATION INC'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. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $105k 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.
