Nonprofit Financial Statements and 990

Edgar Cayce’s A.R.E. (Association for Research and Enlightenment, Inc.) is a non-profit, tax-exempt 501 (c)(3) corporation funded primarily by the generosity of our members. Through a variety of education, outreach and service programs, the focus of the organization is to create opportunities for profound personal change in body, mind, and spirit through the wisdom found in the Edgar Cayce material.
