Overview
Mission
Restoring Eden is a 501c3 nonprofit organization dedicated to creating economic ecosystems and solutions that improve quality of life in communities worldwide. In 2024 we advanced this mission through sustainable real estate investments and strategic outreach. Our first property acquired in 2022 continued generating rental income to support frontline organizations combatting human trafficking. We also began exterior rehabilitation on a second property purchased in late 2023. By transforming this long-neglected structure into a source of hope and renewal on a street where neighbors have been working to revitalize and improve the community. We were also able to speak to over 800 attendees at the 2024 Makeup and Hairstylist Guild Awards raising awareness about our mission. Additionally we launched a podcast highlighting the voices of frontline workers and offering practical ways for the public to engage in the fight against human trafficking.
What it reported doing in 2024
Program Service 3: Public Engagement and Awareness Tools. We maintained outreach and donor engagement tools including subscriptions to Bloomerang donor managment and Mailchimp email marketing as well as editing software to support ongoing communication. in February 2024 we also participated in a brief awareness-raising segment at the Makeup & Hairstylist Guild Awards. In 2024 we also launched the EDEN podcast to amplify the voices of frontline workers and educate the public. The platform has helped raise awareness and encourage involvement. Combined these outreach efforts reached over 800 individuals contributing to increased engagement and donor interest.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 88% 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
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
