Financial Transparency
As a nonprofit organization, we believe in full transparency. We want to provide more information to those who are interested.
Where does your money go?
It can go to a few different places.
- Buying tools or lumber for courses
- Paying our teachers
- Overhead operation costs. This includes things like our Zoom account, email address, phone line, website, WoodStack Database etc.
- Saving up to buy land for the retreat facility.
See our financial files HERE.
Why is there an option for people to pay for a course?
We cannot rely on donations to fund our charity and the services we provide. Students who pay for the courses make it possible for us to pay our teachers so we can continue offering more courses.
We also don’t want to exclude anyone from having the option of taking a course if they don’t have a diagnosis.
Do you have a 501(c)(3)?
Do you accept tools and lumber as donations?
We do accept tool and lumber donations, please contact info@planewellness.org if you are interested in making a donation.
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 and maintaining our WoodStack database system.
There are no other paid administrative staff at this time; however, the goal is to have full-time paid staff operating the organization.
