What Restorative Justice Community Action does
Mission
The mission of rjca is fostering individual growth while strengthening communities through restorative justice practices.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Youth programs: rjca creates a forum in which people impacted by crime/harm in community and meet with those who are harmed by these behaviors to discuss the impact and determine restitution. It is through these community forums that rjca achieves its primary objectives of effectively addressing harmful behaviors and helps prevent further criminal legal justice involvement and strengthens community well-being. In fy25 we closed 123 community conference cases. Of the 86 enrolled youth, 76 (88.4%) attended a conference who were enrolled, and 69 successfully completed the program (80.2% success rate). Referred participants completed 69 hours of community service and gave 49 apologies in communities that were affected. They also completed 347 hours of personal development activities such as working with a tutor, creating a graduation plan, attending anger management classes or writing reflection essays. They also provided 288 in donations. In fy25, 18 volunteers completed 79 community member participations and 32 trained volunteer facilitations (msw interns). Along with the referred youth, 77 family members and supporters met face-to-face with community members at the conferences held…

It is through these community forums that rjca achieves its primary objectives of effectively addressing harmful behaviors and helps prevent further criminal legal justice involvement and strengthens community well-being. Through our programming, rjca provides opportunities for community connection and shared problem solving by addressing the incidents, their context, and the persons referred. As referred participants (offenders) recognize the impact of their behavior, they receive support and often connect with the community in positive ways. We are evaluating from closed cases in fy25. Of those cases, 165 adult offenders were referred in rjca programming, a 17% increase from last year. Of 120 enrolled conferenced cases, 116 were conferenced (96.7% attendance rate), and 111 cases (92.5%) were successfully closed. Referred participants completed 209 hours of community service, gave 101 apology/gratitude letters, and donated 3 bags/items of in-kind donations in the communities that were…

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. 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 2024 to 2025, from $43k to $125k (+194%).
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: 2017 0% · 2021 12% · 2022 7%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
10% of RESTORATIVE JUSTICE COMMUNITY ACTION’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (94% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base narrowed from 2 funders to 1 funder, grant income fell $48k → $8k.
1 of 3 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 41% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of RESTORATIVE JUSTICE COMMUNITY ACTION’s funders (the co-funder graph). 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
RESTORATIVE JUSTICE COMMUNITY ACTION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 41% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
59% 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 RESTORATIVE JUSTICE COMMUNITY ACTION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 84% · 2021 60% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% — growing more concentrated.
“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
69% of RESTORATIVE JUSTICE COMMUNITY ACTION's grant income comes from Minnesota funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $45k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
