While the print circulation base remained stable, online activity continued to grow: through the course of the fiscal year, the total number of visitors to the site grew by 22%.The Foundation has once again expanded its offerings to its readership:The Tricycle Foundation produced Enlightening Conversations, a conference that focused on the intersection between Buddhism and Psychoanalysis. Tricycle hosted the conference in partnership with noted Jungian analyst and author Polly Young-Eisendrath. The conference took place in New York City, and was written up in Psychology Today.In partnership with the New York City-based Shinnyo Center for Meditation and Well Being, the Foundation launched Whats Enough a series of talks that present a rare opportunity to pause in our busy lives and ask: What are we really striving for and how much of it do we really need? The series is will continue to take place in Midtown Manhattan through 2015.The Whats Enough series has so far featured such Buddhist teachers, thinkers, writers and meditators as Sharon Salzberg; Mark Epstein; Dan Harris; Janice Marturano; George Mumford; and Amy Gross.The Foundation also continued to build its archive of increasingly popular video retreats, e-books, and video-shorts series. With the growth of our web content and growing site traffic, the Foundation made the decision in 2014 to raise sufficient funds to rebuild the Tricycle site, primarily to better house rich-media content and better serve our growing mobile audience.With yet another year ending in surplus, Tricycle is poised to expand its membership base and reach. 1275282 true true false false false false false false false false true false false true true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false true false false false false false false false false false true 39 0 true 7 true false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 7 6 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 JEFF MARCOUS Trustee 1.00 0.00 0 0 0 WERNER DOYLE President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 PHILIP GLASS Chairman 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 LAWRENCE C FOX Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 JAMES SHAHEEN Executive Dir. 50.00 0.00 X 121520 0 0 RICHARD LAWTON Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 SUSAN LINDNER Trustee 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 121520 1 false false false 0 267546 112018 267546 ADVERTISING REVENUE 282348 282348 LIST RENTAL INCOME 24876 24876 MAGAZINE SALES 816929 816929 PARTNERSHIP INCOME 70242 70242 PILGRIMAGE 14374 14374 1208769 50 50 0 0 0 110373 111980 -1607 -1607 -1607 0 0 0 0 1474758 1207212 X 0 0 0 0 121520 91505 22967 7048 0 203837 159604 36630 7603 0 24926 19517 4479 930 48049 37622 8635 1792 0 0 0 0 0 0 15120 11839 2717 564 59378 59378 2490 1950 447 93 0 0 89383 69987 16062 3334 0 15694 12288 2821 585 0 0 0 9680 7579 1740 361 9350 7321 1680 349 Printing and Publications 238576 238576 EDITORIAL - PRINT 195549 195549 WEB DEVELOPMENT / HOSTING 96765 96765 SUBSCRIPTION FULLFILLMENT 90727 90727 213690 175075 3533 35082 1434734 1275282 101711 57741 56635 52465 0 0 55130 65208 0 0 0 0 11134 0 103755 55886 7655 47869 0 0 0 0 4901 21200 135455 186742 28498 27625 440739 475418 71000 44000 4457 540237 551500 X -404782 -364758 -404782 -364758 135455 186742 40024 X false true X false false X 440107 415866 299604 287680 267546 1710803 787480 753229 877929 1308340 1208769 4935747 0 0 0 1227587 1169095 1177533 1596020 1476315 6646550 391000 380405 288500 5000 1064905 0 391000 380405 288500 5000 1064905 5581645 1 7 1205 8239 -1557 7895 0 1 7 1205 8239 -1557 7895 0 40669 25200 65869 1227588 1209771 1203938 1604259 1474758 6720314 0.83060 0.79670 0.00120 0.00140 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 49895 6654 43241 21668 17040 4628 32192 32192 47869 SECURITY DEPOSIT RECEIVABLE 21200 21200 DEFERRED RENT 4457 4457 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.
