What Haereticus Environmental Laboratory does
Mission
Increase the scientific, social and economic knowledge of the environmental habitats in order to better conserve, protect and restore habitats.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Parabens are a class of antimicrobial preservatives used in foods, personal care products and medicines. They are now seen as an environmental contaminant of emerging concern. A study published in 2022 linked the concentrations of parabens with breast tumors, and especially metastatic breast tumors. This project is to find the likely sources of contamination that is resulting in the unnatural accumulation of parabens in women.
$6,283 spent6% of program spendingThe Lahaina wildfire was the most deadly wildfire in recent U.S. history. The burning of Lahaina caused an environmental hazard to the volunteers, workers, and residents who worked/lived in that area. Reports of toxic pathologies with volunteers and residents were communicated directly to HEL from Maui County Councilmembers. We raised funds to acquire and freely provide Personal Protection Equipments including chemical resistant boots, gloves, and chemical respirators. We partnered with the Red Cross of Maui, The Maui Ocean Center, the Friends of Hanauma Bay, and Mercury One.

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 2017 to 2018, from $285k to $216k (−24%).
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.
0% of HAERETICUS ENVIRONMENTAL LABORATORY’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (88% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base held at 1 funder, grant income rose $51 → $62.
1 of 1 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 HAERETICUS ENVIRONMENTAL LABORATORY’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.
Where its funders are
100% of HAERETICUS ENVIRONMENTAL LABORATORY'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. $292 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
