During this year we continued learning about the land, how to steward the land & what that entails. Much of our spending went into costs related to the operations & upkeep of the land & buildings currently on it. We raised our first community space, a 26-foot Mongolian yurt, on the land this year & began hosing gatherings there.We continued with our full time keeper of the vision (Executive Director), part time sanctuary administrator, director of land operations & resource consultant, all working part time. Work continued with our real estate development specialist & we worked with a landscape architectural firm, architectural firm & engineering company to prepare the site plans & documents necessary for our conditional use permit application to Lake County. The permit was granted in April 2024.We continued our highly popular partnership with watershed spa in Minneapolis - offered monthly BIPOC-only bathing sessions. We hosted three volunteer days in this fiscal year.We went on a research trip to Tanzania to make connections & build partnerships with Maji ya Chai village & the surrounding Aru-Meru region, in Mwanza which is the largest city on the shores of Lake Victoria (Nyanza), & to Dar es Salaam & Zanzibar Island, in preparation for future trips that we will lead to Tanzania. We continued our story circles as we do annually. 314764 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 7 0 true 1 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 3 3 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true false false MN X REBEKA NDOSI 6123272094 PO BOX 155 TWO HARBORS MN 55616 REBEKA NDOSI Executive Dir. 55.00 0.00 X X 86250 0 0 CAMILLE CASTER-CYPRIAN CHAIR 3.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 CHRISTINE DAVIDSON Treasurer 3.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 SANDRA AGUSTIN Secretary 3.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 86250 0 false false false 0 439267 439267 0 867 867 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 CREDIT CARD REWARDS 900099 25 25 25 440159 892 X 900 900 0 0 0 95000 95000 0 0 0 0 7923 7923 0 0 3862 3862 0 0 0 193285 120661 30374 42250 205 205 8666 1711 6955 1177 222 955 0 10803 9325 1478 34463 31203 3260 0 1100 1100 0 0 17034 17034 14776 1186 13590 PROGRAM SUPPLIES 15401 15401 RESEARCH 10018 10018 GIFTS 3975 3975 0 418588 314764 61574 42250 60802 25829 205393 183918 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 556416 18655 458231 537761 0 0 0 0 0 724426 747508 1568 1633 1446 1568 3079 X 722858 744429 722858 744429 724426 747508 21571 X false false false X 5164 134582 559097 405158 439267 1543268 0 0 5164 134582 559097 405158 439267 1543268 83192 1460076 7 281 736 867 1891 25 25 0 1545184 0.94490 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 432353 432353 36162 506 35656 76412 15583 60829 11489 2566 8923 537761 CREDIT CARDS PAYABLE 1446 1446 REBEKA NDOSI EXEC DIR OPERATING X 1633 1633 false false false 1633 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b An electronic copy of the 990 is provided to the Board & they approve the 990 via email prior to filing.
