We will identify the founding members of New Eden, the first 20 residents who will be responsible for guiding the development process. This initial group will include specialists like builders, farmers, engineers, educators, and more, who will establish the foundation of the village.

• Fundraising Goal: $25,000 (for recruitment, relocation assistance, and initial training sessions)

• Timeline: 3 months

Alongside housing, we will create essential communal spaces for meetings, meals, and workshops. These spaces will foster collaboration and provide a setting for educating new members and visitors about sustainable practices.

• Community Gathering Area & Education Spaces: $150,000 (construction, design, and materials)

• Farming Plots: $75,000 (for initial crop setup, soil preparation, and equipment)

• Fundraising Goal: $225,000

• Timeline: 4-8 months

Throughout the construction and development phases, we will document the journey, creating videos, guides, and blueprints to help others replicate our model of sustainable living. This documentation will also serve as an educational tool for attracting more support and investors.

• Fundraising Goal: $50,000 (media production, equipment, and editing costs)

• Timeline: Ongoing

The village must be built on a property that aligns with our sustainability goals and has the space to expand as the community grows. Nevada is our primary target for this first village, but we are also exploring options in Washington.

• Fundraising Goal: $300,000 (for land purchase, legal fees, and initial site assessments)

• Timeline: 3-6 months

• Land Area Needed: 10-15 acres for initial construction and agriculture

New Eden will rely entirely on renewable energy sources. We plan to install a combination of solar power systems and advanced energy management technologies to ensure the community is fully self-powered.

• Fundraising Goal: $350,000 (solar panel installation, battery storage, and waste recycling systems)

  • Solar Panels: $250,000

  • Battery Storage Systems: $75,000

  • Waste Recycling: $25,000

• Timeline: 6-12 months

After the initial 20 homes and key community areas are built, we will begin housing the first residents. Each resident will bring valuable skills to further the development and growth of the eco-village.

• Fundraising Goal: $25,000 (logistical costs of transitioning residents into the village)

• Timeline: 1-2 months

We will construct small-scale, sustainable housing structures designed to accommodate the first 20 residents. These buildings will utilize advanced materials like hempcrete, solar panels, and water recycling systems to ensure energy efficiency.

• Fundraising Goal: $500,000 (for materials, labor, and construction tools)

  • Hempcrete: $100,000

  • Solar panels and installation: $150,000

  • Water purification and recycling systems: $50,000

  • Miscellaneous building costs: $200,000

• Timeline: 6-12 months

Our village will rely on a mix of robotic technology and human labor for agricultural production. Starting with high-yield crops, we aim to grow enough food to sustain the first 20 residents and expand as the village grows.

• Fundraising Goal: $100,000 (robotic equipment, hydroponic systems, greenhouses)

• Timeline: 3-6 months

As New Eden begins to take shape, we will continue fundraising efforts to support the next phases of expansion. This includes building additional homes, expanding farming areas, and further integrating technology to create a truly self-sustaining community.

• Estimated Future Fundraising Goal: $1.5 million (for continued expansion, larger community spaces, education centers, and more housing)
