What Float Research Collective does
Mission
Establish worldwide acceptance for floatation-rest (reduced environmental stimulation therapy) as a treatment to naturally relieve pain, stress, anxiety and other related conditions.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Project arcturus - create a cloud based system for commercial float centers to connect their frequent floaters/members to report information such as how often they float, why they float, and what benefits they receive from floating. This will be a global study and the plan is to officially publish the results when completed. 2025 has been an execution year getting the software setup to be able to roll out the project to float centers in 2026.

The maui calm project has been set up to provide a new type of disaster relief, a purpose built center to offer free clinical float therapy for anyone on maui who is suffering from the trauma of the fires. Clinical float therapy is a safe and non-invasive treatment that has been shown to help people with trauma, anxiety and ptsd. Built into shipping containers, these float centers can be rapidly deployed to maui and placed near lahaina in order to make the therapy as accessible as possible to everyone who has been traumatized.we received approval from hawaii community foundation for a $238k grant in 2024 to be paid in two installments in 2025. We additionally raised the funds required by the terms of this grant to unlock the first payment.

This will then be shipped to maui and setup on the ground in lahaina near where the fires occurred. The grant will fund the first full year of operations to allow all first responders and fire survivors (or…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2024, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2024, 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 2024 to 2025, from $255k to $311k (+22%).
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.
100% of FLOAT RESEARCH COLLECTIVE’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (82% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 0 of the last 2 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.
2 of 6 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 27% 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 FLOAT RESEARCH COLLECTIVE’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
FLOAT RESEARCH COLLECTIVE leans on a few funders — its largest provides 45% of grant income and the top three 94%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
48% 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 FLOAT RESEARCH COLLECTIVE.
“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
FLOAT RESEARCH COLLECTIVE draws 100% of its grant income from funders outside Hawaii, across 3 states in all.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $25k 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.
