Saba Circles

Here’s what you should know:

Saba Cooperative is a container, a space to hold personal missions, ministries, sacred circles, and devotional work without forcing you into systems that don’t reflect what you're actually doing.

You don’t need to form a nonprofit.
You don’t need a board.
You do need to handle your own reporting and stay in integrity with the law based on how your mission or ministry operates.

Saba doesn’t make you tax-exempt.
You’re not “covered” under the Cooperative.
Each circle or offering is its own responsibility, spiritually, financially, and legally.

If your work involves donations, it’s up to you to decide whether those are taxable and to report them accordingly. If you ever do seek 508(c)(1)(a) status or build toward exemption, that’s something you do for your own ministry, not through Saba.

That said, we’re here to walk with people who are trying to do this honestly.

Many of us have had to report sacred donations as self-employment income because the state didn’t offer us a lawful religious path.
Many of us have filed complaints, sought clarity, and kept going anyway.

If that’s your story too, you're not alone.

There’s no cost to join. Just a shared ethic, and a simple ask: if you ever use the Cooperative’s support and receive compensation for your offering, contribute something back when you're able.

You keep full ownership of your ministry. You name your offering. You define your way.

And when the pressure comes, or when you need perspective, you’ll have others who get it, who’ve been there, and who are building something real together.

If that resonates, you’re welcome here.
