What Wisdom Circles Oceania does
Mission
Wisdom Circles Oceania is dedicated to improving the quality of life for our communities through healing-centered programs rooted in expressive arts and cultural connection. By providing restorative environments that center collaboration, creativity and ecology we increase understanding and safety and foster positive systems change in our communities.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
Our organization focuses on providing trauma-informed and healing-centered arts programs to historically marginalized youth, their families, and training for staff in social services and education in hawaii. We focus on providing young people with the opportunity to learn arts-based techniques that help strengthen their mental health, build resilience, and empower themselves in a safe and inspiring environment. This year we are celebrating expanding the number of participants served and accomplishments in providing programming on oahu and maui islands.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2022, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2022, 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 $172k to $302k (+75%).
How it's funded, over time
