CI's knowledge-based resources will support a growing network of compassion educators and promote public awareness of the importance of compassion to individual human happiness as well as societal and community well-being. CI recognizes an urgent need to help people in professions particularly vulnerable to empathy "burnout" (ex: healthcare workers, K-12 educators, law enforcement, social services, community action, palliative care, veterans support) either as individuals or through their respective organizations. By highlighting the societal and personal benefits of compassionate mindsets and behavior and by furthering the quality and public availability of proven personal compassion cultivation training globally, CI serves the well-being of all humanity. 0 0 165020 294387 To teach CI's Compassion Cultivation Training (CCT) course, providers must complete a rigorous 6 month academic training inclusive of both on-line coursework, group projects and exercises, personal practice and two multi day intensive residential retreats as well as an 8 week supervised "practicum". CI offers this course in 50-60 person cohorts roughly once year for a nominal fee. The tuition and retreat fees are collected in advance and the course is provided by faculty contractors and professional staff from CI. On occasion, special trainings consisting of continuing education or special topics are offered to the already certified teacher community as needs are identified and curricula is available. 27495 CI offers and delivers directly a number of CCT and CCT-derivative courses on-line as a supplement to the CCT Teacher networks in person class offerings. These are offered to the public in areas where CCT Certified Teachers are unavailable (international, remote geographies, and to certain restricted or underserved populations where public retreat or teaching facilities are not available (ex. Prisons, military bases). CI also provides follow on programming and discussion forums for alumni of CCT classes to continue practice or deepen their understanding or application to their professions. 60386 CI develops specialty compassion training programs adapted to the needs of specific "keystone" professions plagued by violence, burnout, or exceptional levels of stress in human relationships. Examples include shortened and/or adapted programs for active duty police, physicians or healthcare workers at risk for burnout, social workers, educators in underserved communities, and incarcerated citizens. These programs are sometimes delivered through or in conjunction with licensing to third parties. 252901 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 14 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 4 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 CA X Katharine C Branscomb 6506830820 2995 Woodside Road 400-375 Woodside CA 94602 X Thupten Jinpa CEO and Chairman 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Katharine C Branscomb Executive Director 30.00 X X 0 0 0 Elizabeth Cross Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Kirk O Hanson Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 800100 800100 CC Training Fees 611600 294387 294387 294387 1 1 1094488 294387 0 1 34939 34939 12303 12303 5946 5946 2114 2114 3602 3602 10642 3981 6661 939 939 2707 1354 1353 Teacher Training 136300 136300 Specialty programs 42615 42615 Online Compassion Culti 10500 10500 Equipment and Computers 1690 1690 220 220 264517 252901 11616 0 321990 1314 10000 499355 0 832659 0 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 832659 0 832659 0 832659 X 829971 668 2020 X 0 0 0 X 800100 800100 294387 294387 1094487 1094487 0 0 0 1094487 1 1 1 1 1094488 1094488 X Schedule A The organization filed it's Articles of Incorporation with the Secratary of State on January 4, 2017 and is therefore filing a short year, initial return in 2017.
