[1] Maavalla Koda was registered as a union of religious associations (koguduste liit) in Estonia in 1995.

A runic calendar noting festivals of the Estonian traditional religion is published annually by Maavalla Koda.

Along with the University of Tartu, Maavalla Koda co-operates in a government programme initiated to ensure the documentation and protection of natural sacred sites in Estonia.

Maavalla Koda is run by a board of three members – an Elder (vanem), a Warden (vardja), and a Secretary (kirjutaja).

The board is elected by the Assembly of Maavalla Koda comprising representatives of local associations.
