Financial health
We do not score finances when yearly spending is very small or the return has too little detail. The ratios stop meaning much at that size.

Governance
This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.

Programs described in its return (3)
- $2,000 spent. Kallion Circles are communities that practice "thinking with" each other through an investigation of humanities artifact(s). Kallion Circles serve people of all different backgrounds and experiences in their leadership development. Everyone in a Kallion Circle contributes to the leadership development of each other through questions, observations, and personal testimonials shared in an intimate discussion group. Circle participants reflect on their own abilities and desires to lead by considering humanities artifacts from a wide range of genres and time periods through new perspectives. In 2024, Kallion hosted 3 Circles facilitated by 2 Kallion facilitators for 30 participants.
- Kallion hosted a facilitator training workshop in Washington, DC in July 31-August 3, 2024. 11 facilitator fellows from construction, hospitality, media, higher education, and K-12 education were training in Kallion facilitation methods for humanities-based leadership education and gained practice experience and feedback. The event was led by the Kallion co-executive directors and 2 facilitator trainers. Participants have gone on to facilitate humanities-based leadership events in their own organizations and communities.
- Kallion laid the groundwork for a workshop at Georgetown University with the Masters in Engaged and Public Humanities program on the topic of public humanities and leadership development. The event (hosted in March 2025) is aimed at graduate students, faculty, and community members in Washington, DC to explore the ways in which public humanities practice aids in the leadership development of the public, and how humanities education can promote leadership development in and outside of the classroom.
