What is Xertion?
Xertion is a 501c3 non-profit organization with the purpose of enabling people to examine their beliefs and values, experience truth, express their passions and extend them to the world. Xertion was founded in January of 2009 by Daryl and Joy Boss and is served by a Volunteer Board. Funding for Xertion comes solely through donations, grants, support from other non-profit organizations and service fees. Although Xertion does charge fees for some of its services, these fees are designed to be affordable for all. These are not sufficient to meet all of the operating expenses.
