Impact evidence

Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.

Programs described in its return (3)
  1. $137,113 spent. We hosted two terms of the study abroad program for 50 people total (20 students and GAs, 4-6 volunteer staff). The sessions were 7 weeks, and 8 weeks. We took the students to 7-8 countries around Europe. Our expenses are largely food, travel, hotels, museums, and other assorted costs. We charged the students between $4,500-5,000, so we work hard to keep the program affordable. Using 100% volunteers helps us a lot.
  2. $65,629 spent. We made some upgrades to our rental property and also purchased some equipment and vehicles. Among these were a car for 20,000e, a small tractor for 22,500e, and upgrades to our electrical systems, heating systems and solar panels.
  3. We did two sessions, but I included the costs and revenue in the first.
