What Eden Project Foundation does
Mission
The Eden Project Foundation exists to retrain people to connect deeply with god and others. Specifically, the Eden Project Foundation takes an integrated approach to educating the public on the story of the bible within its historical context, thus giving people a better understanding of who god is and what he is like. We focus on both left-brain and right-brain training, based on the belief that while information is important, information alone does not facilitate lasting change. We do this through internally developed resources and a retreat-based cohort model in which attendees are taken through internally developed curriculum paired with interactive experiences.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Eden resources - the goal of this program is to teach counter-narratives driven and sustained by the reality that "god is love" through internally developed content. This content includes podcasts, books and various other written material. Podcast releases weekly episodes featuring subject matter experts on the biblical narrative and serves to equip listeners with a fuller and richer understanding of god, the scriptures, and the collective experiences we share together.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $150k to $417k (+178%).
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.
73% of EDEN PROJECT FOUNDATION’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (90% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2021 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 3 funders, grant income rose $100k → $1.3M.
5 of 6 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 9% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

How concentrated its funding is
EDEN PROJECT FOUNDATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 91% of grant income and the top three 98%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
Largest funder’s share by year: 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 94% — 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.
Where its funders are
100% of EDEN PROJECT FOUNDATION's grant income comes from Texas funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $270k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
