What International Earthlight Alliance does
Mission
Basic research; intern'l collaboration, education, health and environmental awareness the intern'l earthlight alliance (iea) employs a unique approach to stimulate student and public interest and curiousity about science. Iea investigates high visability but little understood anomalies as a learning vehicle using rigorous scientific methodology and state of the art tech- nology, iea continues to investigate diverse areas of public interest that are often neglected by mainstream science among these areas are lands where measurable geophysical anomalies exist such as sacred sites , earthlight areas and geopathic zones. Health issues at some of these anomalous geophysical sites are under study. Additionally, temporal anomalies preceding seismic activity, both geophysical and animal behavior, is part of iea's environmental studies. Grand $131569 end of year $28450
As stated on its FY2022 Form 990-EZ.
Program
Tax year 2021 presented several challenges to the International Earthlight Alliance. Due to Covid restrictions equipment and experiment maintenance was more challenging. Visits to hardware stores was more difficult. In addition to Covid-19 restrictions the landlord at 65 Golden Eagle Dr. finally gave a serious move out notice after threatening move-outs spring and or summer for at least the last four-five years. The landlord gave notice in late summer. The complicated move of dismantling the research facility, transporting, and setting up equipment and communications was completed in mid-November 2021. From July to the end of the year research efforts were distracted by and redirected to packing and moving the fragile instruments and a large amount of expedition gear. An attempt was made to keep all data acquisition online until the last minute possible. There was approximately a quarter mile of various wire types that had to be retrieved from the field, so some experiments such as the magnetometer and seismometer were discontinued earlier. A detailed daily log of prevailing environmental, solar terrestrial data, and observations was continued. Instrumentation and expedition…

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 $84k to $53k (−37%).
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 INTERNATIONAL EARTHLIGHT ALLIANCE’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (79% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 6 reported years ran a deficit.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base held at 1 funder, grant income fell $59k → $38k.
1 of 2 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 62% 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 INTERNATIONAL EARTHLIGHT ALLIANCE’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
INTERNATIONAL EARTHLIGHT ALLIANCE leans on a few funders — its largest provides 62% 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 INTERNATIONAL EARTHLIGHT ALLIANCE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 100% · 2021 51% · 2022 58% · 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
62% of INTERNATIONAL EARTHLIGHT ALLIANCE'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 $190k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside Arizona, across 1 state.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $312k 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.
