Zero Unrelated Business Income (UBI) Policy

WHALEFALL has a Zero UBI Policy. To qualify as a nonprofit experience through WHALEFALL the activity must meet the primary purpose and further WHALEFALL’s mission. Specifically, the educational activity must offer the following to qualify:

  • Sliding scale tuition or tuition assistance for equitable access to STEAM education.

  • Skill training towards or work on a real world environmental impact project.

  • Connecting to and support of students in local community when available.

If a school or organization would like B2B educational services and/or access to the suite of educational experiences independent of the primary purpose they will be directed to a preferred vender who donates a percentage of profits to the WHALEFALL public charity.
