Financial Transparency
As a nonprofit organization, I believe in full transparency. I want to provide more information to those who are interested.
Where does your money go?
- Buying tools or lumber for courses
- Paying our teachers
- Overhead operation costs. This includes things like our Zoom account, email address, phone line, website, etc. No one at Plane Wellness currently takes a salary, more information below.
- Saving up to buy land for the retreat facility.
Why is there an option for people to pay for a course?
The simple answer is, we cannot rely on donations to fund our charity and the services we provide. We also don’t want to exclude anyone from having the option of taking a course if they don’t have a diagnosis. The money raised from paid students goes to the above 4 points.
Do you have a 501(c)(3)?
Do you accept tools and lumber as donations?
We do, click HERE to see our current tool/lumber needs.
Can I help in a different way?
Help us is by spreading the word that we exist. Share us on social media, in your community, family, etc.
Is anyone at Plane Wellness paid?
Our teachers are 1099 contracted and most are paid for teaching courses. Some of our teachers do not accept payment and volunteer their time.
As of 4/1/2026 we contracted with our first paid administrative contractor, Steve Hawker serving as COO. We pay him $1,500 a month and he is responsible for leading the grants process, WoodStack development, retreat planning and execution, product management, and the operations strategy plan to increase revenue and market reach, reduce expenses, and build community.
We also contract with various individuals for different tasks like building our database system and managing QuickBooks.
Other than Steve, there are no other paid administrative staff at this time.
