Governance
This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.

Programs described in its return (1)
- $138,725 spent. In 2025, Restored helped young people from divorced and broken families through speaking, media, books, courses, and healing resources. We spoke to roughly 2,000 college students and young adults at SEEK25, with many turned away due to demand, and gave 9 additional talks across the country. We produced dozens of short-form videos, reaching hundreds of thousands of people and directing them to our website, book, podcast, and other resources. We also launched a live call-in podcast format, supported a workshop for young people from broken families in Mexico and clarified our long-term strategy. We began developing two major 2026 initiatives: a flagship healing program and a therapist matching program.
