What Oracle Institute does
Mission
Oracle's mission is to promote a culture of peace through spiritual growth and sacred activism. We pursue this mission by hosting interfaith, social justice and other relevant classes and events; conducting think-tank level research on human development and consciousness; publishing books; engaging in public outreach; and participating in local, national, and global humanitarian events.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Publishing House: In 2023-2024, the Oracle Institute Press sold 564 books and ebooks. Our titles are all educational, with topics including but not limited to science and philosophy, comparative religion, spirituality personal development, and children's fiction. Oracle Press accounts for almost all of its publishing expenses on a cash basis. Direct printing expenses are used to value inventory on our books and are accounted for as cost of goods sold as the books are sold.
$2,549 spent$4,698 earned by the program4% of program spendingIn 2023-2024, Oracle continued to present classes and events to provide educations for OI participants and other interested people. Examples include: Retreat to study the desired nature of the Future Human presented by Anneloes Smitsman, PhD, LLM; Community Class presented by Professor Joe Cole, PhD; and a spiritual musical event by musician Matt Venuti. Events were presented both online and at Oracle Campus.
$7,627 spent$5,361 earned by the program12% of program spendingPeace Practice. We conduct research on the nexus between religion, politics, human rights, and conscious evolution. We pay particular attention to current trends related to war and the rise of authoritarianism. We study and address the decline in Democracy (internationally and in the U.S.), and the loss of civil and religious rights. Our Peace Practice programs have continued to focus on the status of Women's Rights in America and around the world, as well as the global regression of the "Spectrum of Consciousness" based on social models such as Integral Theory and Spiral Dynamics.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 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 2023 to 2024, from $873k to $940k (+8%).
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.
Government-grant reliance: 2021 1% · 2022 0% · 2023 0% · 2024 0% · 2025 0%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
79% of ORACLE INSTITUTE’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (65% for the typical peer).

2017 → 2023: the base held at 1 funder, grant income fell $500 → $28.
1 of 2 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 5% 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 ORACLE INSTITUTE’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
ORACLE INSTITUTE leans on a few funders — its largest provides 95% 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
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 97% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 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
ORACLE INSTITUTE draws 100% of its grant income from funders outside Virginia, across 1 state in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $133 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.
Against its field
ORACLE INSTITUTE's revenue fell 53% between 2021 and 2025.
