Maharishi Foundation USA operates as a federally recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit educational organization that provides instruction in the Transcendental Meditation technique in the United States. Revenues from TM courses are used to support the organization's educational and charitable initiatives at home and abroad. The foundation has no owners or shareholders, and compensation for staff is below the U.S. median; its finances are reviewed annually by an independent CPA firm. It pursues partnerships to extend access to TM, including full course scholarships for at-risk populations and collaborations with other nonprofits such as the David Lynch Foundation to support programs for the homeless, veterans, and others affected by traumatic stress disorders. Based in Fairfield, Iowa, the organization operates as a mid-sized nonprofit within a global movement through which more than 6 million people worldwide have learned the Transcendental Meditation technique. The program is delivered through a network that expands access to TM and related educational and charitable activities worldwide.
