What is a community investment partner?

A community investment partner is someone who actively participates in shaping the future of our community partner by pooling their resources alongside other community members and investors to fund city improvement projects. Through Eden Community, these partners contribute financially to initiatives that improve public safety, economic growth, and local infrastructure, while benefiting from a stake in the community’s development. These partnerships ensure that the growth of communities is driven by those who care most about its future.

Over five years, Eden Community expects to generate a total of over $13 million in capital through memberships and reinvestments. With a 7% annual ROI, clients can expect steady returns on their investments, driven by both membership growth and strategic community investments in infrastructure, safety, and local economic development.

Additionally, a dedicated portion of funds will be allocated to building infrastructure that enhances property values and strengthens the city’s economy, ensuring long-term stability. We also rely
on continuous community engagement and strategic partnerships to ensure consistent returns.

How does Eden Community measure and track the success of its initiatives?

Success is measured through both financial growth (capital accumulation and ROI) and social impact (e.g., crime reduction, economic development, property value improvements). Quarterly reports, combined with annual impact assessments, will provide our investors with clear, transparent updates on both financial and community progress.

How will Eden Community ensure that their projects benefit the local community without displacement?

Our approach prioritizes inclusive community development, with investment projects designed to empower existing residents and businesses. For example, our
community-owned grocery store and local business support initiatives directly involve local entrepreneurs, ensuring that the economic benefits remain within the community without gentrification.

What is Eden Community’s governance structure and how are decisions made?

Eden Community operates under a transparent governance structure, with an advisory board that includes local community leaders, investors, and key stakeholders. Decisions are made collaboratively, with a focus on both financial sustainability and community needs. Key initiatives and investments are voted on by the advisory board, ensuring accountability and alignment with our mission.

What is the time horizon for investment and how liquid is the investment?

The time horizon for investment is long-term, with projected returns starting within three years. However, Eden Community’s investments in infrastructure, safety, and local economic growth are designed to be sustainable over time. While the investment is not immediately liquid, members and investors can expect significant returns in the medium to long term, with the ability to transfer their investments to heirs or other beneficiaries.
