What Soul Seated Journey Inc does
Mission
Soul seated bridges compassion science and contemplative practices to help emerging adults build inner resilience for outer impact. We empower youth to flourish personally and serve communities.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Ssj conducted comprehensive research on emerging adults' search for purpose and meaning in an increasingly disconnected world, analyzing 3 years of data. Research revealed 76% of young people actively seek meaningful personal development, yet less than 5% of existing programs integrate scientific validation with spiritual depth and contemplative practices. Our evidence-based findings confirm the critical need for transformational programs and services that address the core human needs: purpose, meaning, and authentic connection. This positions ssj uniquely to serve emerging adults who seek more than symptom management - they seek genuine spiritual growth and tools for navigating life's profound questions with both ancient wisdom and modern science as their guide
$5,580 spent100% of program spendingSsj developed the inspire initiative, creating innovative frameworks that integrate compassion science with contemplative practices for ages 18-29. This next-generation model addresses critical gaps in support during major life transitions while fostering authentic belonging and life meaning. Inspire cultivates the inner dimensions of human flourishing through evidence-based practices that develop core virtues like compassion, humility, gratitude, and courage. While practical life navigation tools are woven throughout, they serve the deeper purpose of helping youth discover their values and expand beyond self-centered living. The hybrid model makes transformative spiritual growth accessible regardless of geographic or economic barriers, creating communities of shared purpose.
Ssj's research and inspire initiative attracted multi-year funding from philanthropic partners and opened pathways for mission-aligned collaboration. This validation of our evidence-based approach ensures sustainable growth and positions ssj to scale hybrid transformative program services over 3 years. Strategic partnerships established will expand reach to underserved communities while maintaining program service quality and measuring long-term impact through rigorous evaluation frameworks.

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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $41k to $52k (+26%).
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.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 3 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2022 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income rose $6k → $21k.
3 of 3 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.

How concentrated its funding is
SOUL SEATED JOURNEY INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 96% 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 SOUL SEATED JOURNEY INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2022 100% · 2023 51% — 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 SOUL SEATED JOURNEY INC'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. $627k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
