Mission
The mission of eden autism services is to improve the lives of people with autism: one individual at a time; one family at a time; one community at a time.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
The eden school: 2025 marked the 50th anniversary of eden autism's founding. Started by fourteen families whose children required significantly more than their school district was able to provide, the eden school was quickly recognized throughout the state for its expertise in supporting students with profound autism as characterized by complex cognitive, communication, and behavioral challenges. Today, the eden school provides 78 students from 36 school districts aged 3-21 with year-round educational services including speech and language, adaptive physical education, occupational and physical therapy, and an extended day program. Every student at eden has an individualized education program (iep), unique to his or her specific needs and abilities based on annual assessments. Our student-teacher ratio ranges from 1:1 to 3:1, based on student need. Classroom instruction is provided in the same student-teacher ratios, along with small groups to facilitate peer interaction. The acquisition of functional and employable skills as well as engagement in the community are at the core of the eden school's goals for every student when they graduate.in addition to being a new jersey…

Close to 90% of the adults who attend eden's day program are employed or volunteer in the community. Local restaurants, retailers, physicians' offices, and financial advisors represent just a few of the area businesses that realize the value of employing individuals with developmental disabilities. Because not every participant is able to work or engage actively in community settings, eden's adult day program continues to work with those individuals to develop daily living skills, personal hygiene, cooking, and health and fitness. In 2025 eden served 159 participants in its day program. Through supported employment, participants work in the community under the supervision of an eden job coach. Examples include working in a convenience store, providing clerical support in a physician's office, carrying out cleaning services, performing data entry, etc. Competitive employment is an option for participants who have demonstrated the ability to work…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2018 to 2019, from $11M to $28M (+151%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2018 22% · 2019 1% · 2020 0% · 2021 1% · 2022 0% · 2023 1% · 2024 1% · 2025 1%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 3 funders to 11 funders, grant income fell $63k → $59k.
8 of 27 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 31% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $4.1M from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Eden Autism Services Foundation Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money EDEN AUTISM SERVICES INC raised.
From the IRS filings of EDEN AUTISM SERVICES INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 25 of 27 funders by total. Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
EDEN AUTISM SERVICES INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 27% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
31% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund EDEN AUTISM SERVICES INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 81% · 2018 68% · 2019 23% · 2020 41% · 2021 37% · 2022 37% · 2023 34% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How long its funders stay
43% of EDEN AUTISM SERVICES INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 70% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
68% of EDEN AUTISM SERVICES INC's grant income comes from New Jersey funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $154k arriving through sponsors registered in 8 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
