By cultivating the connection between contemplation and compassionate action, Copper Beech Institute strives to awaken us to the fullness of our potential. In the past year, Copper Beech Institute has offered nearly 100 programs to over 2,500 people from across the country and around the world. We continue to offer free meditation groups each month to develop a vibrant local community of mindfulness practitioners who are cultivating resilience, compassion and equanimity in their personal lives. In the past year, we offered over $60,000 in scholarships and fellowships enabling those in financial need to attend our programs.We expanded our outreach teaching mindfulness among vulnerable members of our community including homeless populations, at-risk adolescents and incarcerated youth and adults. We have developed our own standard Mindfulness-Based Resilience Curriculum, Living Presence, specifically built upon our core values. This Mindfulness-Based Resilience Curriculum provides an experiential course of study and practice to cultivate equanimity, compassion, awareness and healing. Living Presence will both prepare participants for inevitable future stressors and offer ways of responding to past stress and trauma. While Living Presence is designed with vulnerable populations in mind, it is appropriate for all people who seek resilience, awareness, contentment, equanimity and compassion. We feel deeply thankful for the immense growth that Copper Beech is undergoing and the deep impact that our guests are experiencing in their lives. 448519 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 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 false false false false false false false false false true 28 0 false 5 true false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 13 12 false false false false false false false true false false false true true true false false false false false false CT X Brandon Nappi Exec Dir 8607609750 303 Tunxis Road West Hartford CT 061073119 X Charles J Hebert Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Nancy Murray Chair to12/2016 20.00 0.00 X X 2671 0 0 Deborah Bradley Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Fr David Cinquegrani Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Terri Laggis Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jim Malley Vice Chair 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Joe Lander Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Linda Albright Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Bill Walsh Secretary/Treas 4.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Brandon Nappi Executive Dir. 20.00 0.00 X X 17225 0 0 Helen Bet Givargis Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Vamsi Koneru Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mary Guerrera Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 19896 0 false false false 0 34112 177260 641 211372 MBSR Course 105443 105443 Other courses and fees 12704 12704 Retreats 357490 357490 Scholarships -63148 -63148 Teaching fees 12535 12535 425024 1676 1676 0 0 0 0 11100 34112 9908 1192 1192 0 0 0 639264 426700 1192 X 0 0 0 0 17225 4306 1723 11196 0 43927 38334 5593 0 0 4619 4031 588 0 0 5317 5317 0 0 0 203463 202777 686 82064 73633 8431 0 1238 619 309 310 0 69045 47296 21749 44634 44634 0 2321 881 1440 0 0 0 7076 4953 2123 Supplies and equipment 20822 14249 6573 Printing and Publications 18157 9078 9079 Credit card and bank fees 9745 15 9730 Evening activities 3650 3650 4371 63 837 3471 537674 448519 56668 32487 101236 147360 250018 251697 0 2720 0 0 0 0 39917 0 0 0 0 0 45224 0 391171 447001 20286 60252 118525 32799 138811 93051 X 252360 353950 252360 353950 391171 447001 101590 X false true X true false X 1000 17700 135661 172551 222472 549384 309317 331558 425024 1065899 0 0 0 1000 17700 444978 504109 647496 1615283 14750 11520 26270 90955 116745 134442 342142 14750 90955 116745 145962 368412 1246871 18 1676 1694 0 18 1676 1694 0 0 1000 17700 444978 504127 649172 1616977 0.77110 0.00100 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 648531 9267 9267 639264 639264 546941 9267 9267 537674 537674 Part XI, Line 2d: Other revenue amounts included in F/S but not included on form 990 Special event expenses $9267 Part XII, Line 2d: Other expenses and losses per audited F/S Special event expenses $9267 false Dinner 45212 34112 11100 641 6160 622 2485 45212 34112 11100 641 6160 622 2485 9908 1192 Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b: Form 990 Review Process Our CPA prepares the Form 990 after performing the review of our financial statements.
