What Restorative Justice Project Maine does
Mission
Restorative Justice Project Maine facilitates compassionate responses to crime and wrong doing that fosters support and healing for the victim; accountablility, intervention and reintegration of the offender: and renewal and saftey for the community.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
RJP Maine's Youth Harm Repair program is supported by a contract with the Maine Department of Corrections, Division of Juvenile Services. Our team of Restorative Justice Managers act as facilitators, receiving referrals from various sources, including Prosecutorial District 6 Assistant District Attorney and Juvenile Community Corrections Officers and building effective staff and volunteer teams to facilitate impactful restorative processes to support young people through their journeys towards healing and accountability.
$235,476 spent62% of program spendingOur Training Team provides training to our volunteers and staff, and to outside entitiies such as public schools, social service organizations, and institutions of higher education.
$102,337 spent27% of program spendingReEntry-When individuals reenter their communities after incarceration, they face many barriers and challenges that hinder their successful reentry. Many carceral facilities provide limited services and support post-release, leaving people without necessary resources to rebuild their lives. Restorative Justice Project Maine provides valuable reentry services to those leaving incarceration through Support Circles, Reunification Circles, Community Building Circles, and Recovery Circles.

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 2022 to 2023, from $406k to $258k (−36%).
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: 2021 9% · 2022 20% · 2023 24%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
38% of Restorative Justice Project Maine’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (82% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 8 funders, grant income rose $5k → $39k.
6 of 19 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 51% 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 Project Maine’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 Project Maine has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 28% 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
60% 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 Project Maine.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 98% · 2018 66% · 2019 74% · 2020 27% · 2021 23% · 2022 33% · 2023 39% — 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
63% of Restorative Justice Project Maine's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 63% 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
51% of Restorative Justice Project Maine'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 $204k that is directly attributable, 67% of it comes from funders outside Maine, across 6 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $216k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 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.
