What Restoring Eden does
Mission
Restoring Eden is a 501c3 nonprofit organization dedicated to creating economic ecosystems and solutions that improve quality of life in communities worldwide. In 2024 we advanced this mission through sustainable real estate investments and strategic outreach. Our first property acquired in 2022 continued generating rental income to support frontline organizations combatting human trafficking. We also began exterior rehabilitation on a second property purchased in late 2023. By transforming this long-neglected structure into a source of hope and renewal on a street where neighbors have been working to revitalize and improve the community. We were also able to speak to over 800 attendees at the 2024 Makeup and Hairstylist Guild Awards raising awareness about our mission. Additionally we launched a podcast highlighting the voices of frontline workers and offering practical ways for the public to engage in the fight against human trafficking.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
Program Service 2: We continued the rehabilitation of a second residential property purchased in late 2023 investing in both structural and aesthetic improvements focused on the exterior as well as ongoing maintenance. Holding costs such as taxes insurance utilities lawn care and surveillance were also incurred to preserve the property during this phase. This property is expected to begin generating sustainable income in 2025 furthering our mission of creating long-term funding sources for anti-trafficking efforts. The renovation also contributed to revitalizing a distressed street in Dayton Ohio.

How concentrated its funding is
RESTORING EDEN leans on a few funders — its largest provides 95% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
95% 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 RESTORING EDEN.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2022 100% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
“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
95% of RESTORING EDEN'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 $550 that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from California funders.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $10k 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.
