Fresh offerings included "For the Moment: Short Teachings for Relief & Resilience," a weekly podcast, and a series of free livestream teachings that provided support and encouragement to our constituents through the Covid-19 pandemic. Surpassing expectations, the latter effort reached far beyond Tricycles readership, driving robust subscription sales, online course registrations, and donations. Adding to the Foundations programming successes, BuddhaFest, Tricycle's online film-festival partnership relaunched in 2019, drew record attendance in 2020.A full publishing staff and a focused marketing effort led the Foundation to unprecedented growth and a record surplus. New content-distribution efforts included Three Teachings, a weekly newsletter launched in July, and paid social-media advertising that targeted new audiences and boosted conversion rates. With its onsite-optimization partner, the Foundation continued aggressive A/B testing across tricycle.org. And with an eye to reaching younger readers, the Foundation began offering students a 50% discount on digital subscriptions to Tricycle.In the coming year, Tricycle hopes to establish more direct contact with its support base and general readership. To that end, the Foundation implemented new development software that has streamlined fundraising and community outreach efforts.With a focus on service, Tricycle did its best to support its audience through a particularly challenging year. Generous reader response and support made fiscal 2019 one of its most successful years. 2281663 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 68 0 true 15 false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 8 7 false false false false false false false true false false false true true false false true true true false false X X ORGANIZATION 6464619847 89 FIFTH AVENUE 301 NEW YORK NY 10003 JAMES SHAHEEN President 50.00 0.00 X X 183731 0 0 WERNER DOYLE Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 PHILIP GLASS Chairman 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 HELEN TWORKOV Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MAYREE CLARK Chairman 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 CHRISTOPHER CREVIER Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 GENEVIEVE DAVID Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JONATHAN HOCHMAN Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 183731 1 false true false 0 444377 10454 444377 ADVERTISING REVENUE 234519 234519 MAGAZINE SALES 1358145 1358145 ON-LINE COURSES 673351 673351 PARTNERSHIP INCOME 95601 95601 RENTAL INCOME 54000 54000 3829 3829 2419445 3442 3442 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2867264 2422887 0 0 0 0 183731 165358 9187 9186 0 608715 547844 30436 30435 0 100606 90545 5031 5030 76151 68536 3808 3807 0 0 0 0 0 0 90976 86427 2275 2274 0 8196 7376 410 410 0 0 115333 103800 5767 5766 0 0 0 0 0 7257 6531 363 363 8954 8059 448 447 EDITORIAL 353747 353747 ANCILLARY PROJECTS 297804 297804 PAPER PRINTING, MAILING 177759 177759 MARKETING 174437 174437 220654 193440 1408 25806 2424320 2281663 59133 83524 800261 427072 1002839 0 89379 71689 0 0 0 0 19910 8414 140042 133690 13609 6352 40 40 0 0 0 27586 28966 950785 1545372 105301 61973 710075 748662 172937 26785 10232 842161 993804 X 108624 551568 108624 551568 950785 1545372 442944 X false true X false false X 245250 463785 279235 278466 444377 1711113 1321005 1568449 1783748 1837206 2369444 8879852 0 0 0 1566255 2032234 2062983 2115672 2813821 10590965 10000 10000 5165 25165 0 10000 10000 5165 25165 10565800 280 688 3442 4410 0 280 688 3442 4410 0 28650 44800 47600 51800 54000 226850 1594905 2077034 2110863 2168160 2871263 10822225 0.97630 0.97920 0.00040 0.00060 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 86182 79830 6352 21668 21668 32192 32192 6352 DEFERRED RENT 6131 Rounding 1 SECURITY DEPOSIT PAYABLE 4100 10232 X Part X : FIN48 Footnote Tricycle Foundation, Inc. is a not-for-profit Foundation exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and has been designated as a Foundation, which is not a private Foundation.
