Your donations are in good hands.
When you contribute, your money goes to:
Land Acquisition
The land we build on will cost money, both to purchase and to maintain.
Perpetual Care
The pyre itself needs to be built and maintained as well, as do surrounding structures (parking, fencing, bathrooms, etc).
Your money does NOT go to:
Salaries
Our board is made of volunteers who don’t draw a salary.
Administration Costs
Website fees, PO box renewals, and any costs associated with general nonprofit admin are privately covered.
Marketing
Digital and print advertising are either comped (thanks, Google Ads!) or paid out of pocket.
2025 Tax Documents
Form 990 is a required tax document for all tax-exempt organizations to report their income breakdown. Northern Pyre’s annual gross receipts are less than $50,000, so we are eligible to file Form 990-N to satisfy the IRS’s annual reporting requirement.
Form 990-N provides no financial data and is not digitized, so it isn’t included on third-party websites. However, a 2025 copy is available here.
