Financial Accountability
One hundred percent of all SOE revenues and expenses are publicly disclosed on an annual basis by way of the SOE’s parent organization, AESTM, which files an annual Form 990 with the Internal Revenue Service. I.R.S. Form 990 is a document open for public inspection, and can be viewed now within the "Legal" tab on the AESTM website.
SOE revenues currently come from two primary
sources:
- Donations (gifts and grants from individuals, churches,
organizations, and foundations)
- SOE membership fees
Eventually the SOE should not require any further donations, but operate exclusively on membership fees, thus allowing donation dollars to be given to other worthy causes.
Until that time, donations and seed funding grants are needed
and greatly appreciated!
