It is a unique tribute to aviators from across the globe as they promote the motto of the ninety-nines "world friendship through flight." trees in the forest represent all 50 us states as well as the 35 countries where members of the ninety-nines reside. Several times each year. The flags of thses states and countries are displayed throughout the forest, filling it with vibrant color. Each year, new honorees are inducted into the forest, and plaques bearing their names are embedded along the walkways that wind among the trees. The forest is open to the public throughout the year.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

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 2019 to 2020, from $476k to $772k (+62%).
How it's funded, over time

48% of INTERNATIONAL FOREST OF FRIENDSHIP’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (64% for the typical peer).
