Mission
The purpose of the Center for Regenerative Ecological Education & Enterprise Development CREEED is to foster a new relationship between the human species and the Earth as outlined in Pope Franciss encyclical Laudato si. This message includes a focus on the way we relate to our natural environment our understanding of our place in the world and the way in which we interact with other species and with other human beings. We take inspiration from the great wisdom traditions and understanding of the human-nature connection and seek to foster mindful awareness in all of our activities with each other and the Earth. We welcome individual and group retreatants in the spirit of hospitality offered by the great Medieval and contemporary monasteries.

Who gave
Contributor names are not public for this form type.
Public charities filing Form 990 or 990-EZ report large donors on Schedule B, but the IRS withholds their names and addresses from public copies. Private foundations (990-PF) are different: their contributors are public.
Finances
Newest first. Each filing: its name on one row, its figures on the row beneath. Greyed filings are superseded by a later return for the same period and are left out everywhere else on this page.

Where the money went
Every expense line on each return, biggest first: Form 990 Part IX (with its program, management and fundraising columns), 990-EZ Part I, or 990-PF Part I. Event marks lines the organization itself describes as events. “Events” in each summary adds those lines, conferences and meetings, and the direct costs of fundraising events. Unusual is not the same as improper. Many of these patterns have ordinary explanations. Check the filing.
