What Regenerative Education Centers Inc does
Mission
At regenerative education centers (rec), we envision successful stewardship of the environment by implementing regenerative farming practices that cultivate change and ignite transformation in our local community and around the world. We are committed to meeting the changing needs of our community here in lahaina by providing food security through regenerative farming education and addressing housing needs through off grid homestead solutions.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Maui wildfire recovery. The maui wildfire recovery program is a dynamic program that focuses on addressing both the immediate and long-term needs of those affected by the lahaina fires. Our goal is to provide essential resources, innovative solutions, and thousands of pounds of fresh food grown onsite to rebuild and strengthen our community. Food sovereignty: creating a living classroom at our farms so that those impacted by the lahaina fires have a place to learn how to grow their own food, and receive produce. Regenerative infrastructure: source materials to give away to those displaced by the maui fires to build off-grid tiny homesteads. Implement regenerative agricultural practices to restore the land and promote self- sufficiency. Develop resource-efficient infrastructure for water, power, and waste management. Collaborative network: partner with local nonprofits, community leaders, and influencers to streamline relief efforts. Collaborate with professionals in various fields to provide holistic support, from electricity and plumbing to solar expertise and agriculture guidance. Funding and resource mobilization: seek donations from individuals, businesses, and organizations…
$238,864 spent100% of program spendingMaui seatrees. Regenerative education centers now stewards the land in launiupoko and olowalu, setting an example for what sustainable watershed restoration looks like. The restoration efforts focus specifically on removing trash and invasive species (plant and animal), and growing native and voyaging plant species (a mix of trees, shrubs, and grasses) in critical areas within the watershed. This will in turn reduce soil erosion and sedimentation into the streams, resulting in direct improvements and protection of the reef systems that are located at the end of the watershed. After removing invasive species from the restoration sites, rec replants the area with native and voyaging plants. A few of these native and voyaging species used in this restoration site include: trees: 'ulu (breadfruit), niu (coconut), pu hala (pandanus), kou, milo, loulu palm, hawaiian kamani shrubs: naupaka (heliotropes) and pohinahina (vitex) grasses: pili, and vetiver

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2023, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2023, 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 2023 to 2024, from $472k to $316k (−33%).
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.
100% of REGENERATIVE EDUCATION CENTERS INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (88% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.
4 of 10 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 57% 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
REGENERATIVE EDUCATION CENTERS INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 37% of grant income and the top three 72%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
70% 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 REGENERATIVE EDUCATION CENTERS INC.
“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
57% of REGENERATIVE EDUCATION CENTERS INC's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $116k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside Hawaii, across 4 states.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $154k 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.
