What Yao Qi Zong Foundation does
Mission
The Medicine Qi School, with its lineage deeply entwined in the ancient tapestry of Eastern Daoist healing, herbal lore, and chemical wisdom, venerates the human body as the ultimate elixir and dedicates itself to its cultivation. This venerable institution employs the artistry of Chi-gong techniques and the indulgence in artisanal herbal teas to bestow a state of well-being, mitigating maladies and lessening reliance on conventional medications. We ardently hold the belief that the world's treasures, in their diverse forms, carry within them medicinal properties endowed with a spiritual resonance. Guided by the sacred tenets of the Medicine Qi School, we join in a collective pursuit of robust physical vitality, material abundance, and spiritual serenity.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2023, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2023, 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 2024 to 2025, from $29k to $331k (+1035%).
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.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
