What Sacred Fire Community Corporation does
Mission
The mission of sacred fire is to help people expand and enrich their lives and relationships through the connective and transformative power of fire, providing a doorway to healing, growth, and learning for themselves, their families, and their communities. Our vision is of a world where people from all walks of life regularly gather around the light and transformative warmth of fire to connect, heal, work through conflicts, and renew their sense of purpose. In this world, people move through life's cycles with courage, dignity, and learning, giving birth to deep wisdom as they age.

Program
A 501(c)(3) charitable organization that provides development programs and activities to cultivate community and individual spiritual enrichment, growth, healing, and learning. During the course of 2025, the sfcc held multiple events and training in our key areas of firekeeping,lifeways and community events. Related to firekeeping, there has been in-person training as well as virtual gatherings and webinars to provide continuing education. We have over 70 active firekeepers around the world in australia, canada, colombia, mexico, england, greece, ireland, scotland, wales and various locations in the u.s. Over 4,500 people attended our various community fires in 2025. In the area of lifeways, we held on-line programs that included registrants from all of the countries that we serve and provided much-needed wisdom at a time of increasing isolation and turmoil. Our community events hosted six fire speaks programs in 2025 that were held in mexico and the u.s. Attended by over 350 people. Registration totals for our firekeeping, lifeways, and community events programs were approximately 4,100.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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 $23k to $140k (+522%).
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.
61% of SACRED FIRE COMMUNITY CORPORATION’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (100% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 6 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income fell $100k → $40k.
4 of 4 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 SACRED FIRE COMMUNITY CORPORATION’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
SACRED FIRE COMMUNITY CORPORATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 75% of grant income and the top three 98%; 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 SACRED FIRE COMMUNITY CORPORATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 2021 83% · 2022 43% · 2023 75% — diversifying over time.
“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
100% of SACRED FIRE COMMUNITY CORPORATION'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. $463k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
