I don't believe they are operating under this name anymore, as of this year. Members have been asked to write checks out to "Unifying Meditation Institute"

$400k in assets. I guess they're doing well.
THANK YOU! I couldn't remember the meditation name and you got it! Yes!
I think the point about these groups that are all "non-profits," with the exception of Parsifal, is that they are all owned by members of the group. There has been speculation that the tithe money filters into the princes pocket to be used for these "projects." Only someone intimately aware of the money trail would be able to totally legitimize that. This would answer Sallie's questions about the subsidiary.
I'm going to go out a limb and say, no. These are NOT subsidiaries. I think they are financial ventures by people involved in the groups who are paid a stipend by Shoresh, or the now Unified Meditation Institute. I'm sure it's legal if you see Gary, Phil, Richie, Bob/Mike as people that are "officers" in the church they are sanctioned under for tax purposes. Just as easily I'm sure they could say these groups of part of "spreading God's message to the world." This would also fit under the charter of a church. Anyone who is an elder, prince, king, priest, high priest, or whatever other crazy titles are floating around these days could easily be PAID MONEY by the tithes and have that be legal because they could be considered "employees" of the "church" or "religious organization." I'm not so sure that the people PAYING the tithes would be all that pleased to know their money is going to effectively line the pockets of people who were once the "close friends" of the pedophile named Jack Hickman, and tend to be the same people hammering away about tithing being a part of Gods law, and the need to be a "servant" and how you need to fulfill your commitment or you will never be "perfect." Just perpetuating the old lies and manipulation.... to line their own pockets.
I still say the MONEY is what it's all about. The other stuff is a front to keep people interested and guilty and signing checks.
