What School of Metaphysics does
Mission
To aid any individual willing to put forth the effort to become a whole, functioning self, not dependent on any person, place or thing for peace, contentment or security.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
The applied metaphysics course teaches students to become responsible to their inner self, while cooperating with others, therefore, they become the director/author of their lives. Classes focus on essential life skills such as concentration, visualization (focused imagery), meditation, and life force, all foundational for exploring the multidimensional self. Students exercise their minds on a daily basis to develop attention, concentration, listening, memory and imagination. This practice builds will power. Building and honing the mental muscle is much like one would faithfully practice physical exercises. In addition to the main coursework, the School of Metaphysics also offers courses with a specific focus like concentration, visualization and dream interpretation. (cont'd on sch o)

Com affords students opportunities for direct application of the essential life skills and the ability to observe the operation of universal laws and truths which they are introduced to in the first cycle of lessons. This program consists of full-time of immersion in metaphysics (meta - beyond; physics - physical; in other words, understanding consciousness and how the mind works) through activities of animal husbandry, horticulture, building and maintenance, cooking, individualized projects and more. Students have many opportunities to practice what they have been learning thus growing in understanding through experience which leads to mastery. (cont'd on sch o)

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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 2020 to 2021, from $6.1M to $6.7M (+9%).
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.
17% of SCHOOL OF METAPHYSICS’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (100% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

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 SCHOOL OF METAPHYSICS’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 SCHOOL OF METAPHYSICS'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. $258 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.
