This year, for the second time, the Foundation was pleased to receive the Utne Media Award for outstanding coverage in the Body/Spirit category. The Foundation continues to expand its activities and offerings to better serve its constituents. New offerings in 2013 include: The Tricycle app: Readers can now download the magazine to their smartphones and tablets. The app includes a number of premium features, including podcasts, slide shows, and video shorts. Its elegant design and user-friendly interface helped the app to rise to the top of its category on iTunes shortly after its launch. Tricycle Talks: The Foundation now produces a podcast series, Tricycle Talks. The series features some of todays most compelling teachers, writers and thinkers, who discuss everyday life through a Buddhist lens. Tricycle Pilgrimage Program: In 2013, the Foundation expanded its pilgrimage program to include trips to Nepal and Bhutan. Thirty pilgrims visited monasteries, nunneries and sites key to the development of Indo-Tibetan Buddhism, and received teachings from some of todays most beloved Tibetan teachers. Tricycles audience continues to grow. This year, web traffic increased by over 20%, and, with the new app and increasing newsstand sales, the Foundation significantly expanded its reach. With a healthy operating surplus, Tricycle will begin 2014 on a solid footing. We expect continued growth throughout the year and to provide yet newer offerings to our membership. 1239742 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false true true 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 43 0 true 13 true false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 6 5 false false false false false false false true false false false true true false false true true true false false NY X X ORGANIZATION 6464619847 89 FIFTH AVENUE 301 NEW YORK NY 10003 SUSAN LINDNER 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 RICHARD LAWTON 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 JAMES SHAHEEN 50.00 0.00 X 108846 0 0 LAWRENCE C FOX 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 PHILIP GLASS 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 WERNER DOYLE 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 108846 1 false false false 0 287680 287680 PILGRIMAGE 27900 27900 PARTNERSHIP INCOME 51396 51396 MAGAZINE SALES 917428 917428 LIST RENTAL INCOME 24946 24946 ADVERTISING REVENUE 286670 286670 1308340 79 79 0 0 0 180160 172000 8160 8160 8160 0 0 0 0 1604259 1316579 X 0 0 0 0 108846 81961 20572 6313 0 188773 142146 35678 10949 0 23545 17729 4450 1366 41785 31464 7897 2424 0 0 0 0 0 0 13369 10067 2527 775 56534 56534 4076 3069 771 236 0 0 68243 51387 12898 3958 0 15101 11371 2854 876 0 3108 2340 588 180 0 3901 3901 11939 8990 2257 692 SUBSCRIPTION FULLFILLMENT 117051 117051 WEB DEVELOPMENT / HOSTING 123074 123074 EDITORIAL - PRINT 197786 197786 Printing and Publications 243338 243338 189491 137534 3328 48629 1409960 1239742 93820 76398 17811 56635 18382 0 17500 0 60195 55130 0 0 0 0 10453 11134 53861 46206 7021 7655 0 0 0 0 4900 4901 136262 135455 98804 28498 449539 440739 114000 71000 73000 735343 540237 X -599081 -404782 -599081 -404782 136262 135455 194299 X false true X false false X 325572 440107 415866 299604 287680 1768829 1113134 787480 753229 877929 1308340 4840112 0 0 0 1438706 1227587 1169095 1177533 1596020 6608941 217967 391000 380405 288500 5000 1282872 0 217967 391000 380405 288500 5000 1282872 5326069 50 1 7 1205 8239 9502 0 50 1 7 1205 8239 9502 0 945 40669 25200 66814 1439701 1227588 1209771 1203938 1604259 6685257 0.79670 0.70930 0.00140 0.00030 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 1 1 21668 14013 7655 32192 32192 7655 X 1604259 1604259 1604259 1409960 1409960 1409960 Part 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.
