Mission
Spiral House Park is a 45-acre park in Saugerties, NY. Developed from a former bluestone quarry into a unique cultural and ecological resource, the site features bluestone and crystal glass sculptures alongside native gardens, woodland trails, and accessible paths. The park also includes a 5-story Spiral House based on sacred geometry. We provide immersive experiences and educational programs that foster exploration, reflection, and learning, connecting people of all ages with the wonder of art and nature. In 2025, the park opened to the public.

Who gave
Contributor names are not public for this form type.
Public charities filing Form 990 or 990-EZ report large donors on Schedule B, but the IRS withholds their names and addresses from public copies. Private foundations (990-PF) are different: their contributors are public.
Finances
Newest first. Each filing: its name on one row, its figures on the row beneath. Greyed filings are superseded by a later return for the same period and are left out everywhere else on this page.

Where the money went
Every expense line on each return, biggest first: Form 990 Part IX (with its program, management and fundraising columns), 990-EZ Part I, or 990-PF Part I. Event marks lines the organization itself describes as events. “Events” in each summary adds those lines, conferences and meetings, and the direct costs of fundraising events. Unusual is not the same as improper. Many of these patterns have ordinary explanations. Check the filing.
