Overview
Mission
To be a vibrant family of Jesus - a joyful interdependent intergenerational community of Gods love and purpose - and to equip others to cultivate these regenerative ecosystems of Gods love in their own lives.
What it reported doing in 2025
Regenerative Culture Education: The Eden Center is under development as a venue for providing workshop facilities and training. In 2024 we hosted 2 local elementary student groups total 41 students for walking ecotours and a university class about 12 students for a range management field trip. A separate venue was rented for a 5-day Foundations of Regenerative Culture workshop.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 94% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
