Who Is Restore?

Restore National, Inc. is a 501(c)3 organization devoted to antiracism education to non-Black people and providing resources and funds to Black women, children, and Marginalized Genders (MaGes). Founded as Done For DiDi Inc. by DiDi Delgado (pronoun: DiDi) in 2017, the organization initially went by the name The DiDi Delgado Experience LLC. Restore National’s founding followed DiDi’s experiences with housing insecurity and a general lack of resources while advocating for a disabled parent. 

Restore National, Inc. was officially incorporated as a nonprofit in 2021 and is based in Massachusetts at 675 VFW Parkway, Number 133, Chestnut Hill MA, 02467. Led by a team of expert organizers, the organization’s mission is to bridge the gaps between the intersections of race, class, gender, sexual identity, and sexual orientation while practicing radical philanthropy through art, advocacy, and direct giving models while centering Black women and non-men.

Restore National serves the New England region for physical events and serves all parts of the United States virtually.

The organization’s primary constituents are:

• Black MaGes who receive funds to help pay rent, bills, and other necessities

• White people and non-Black people of color who are educated within the antiracism community as a long-term support for fighting the systemic oppression of racism, sexism, classism, anti-Blackness, and their intersections

Restore National runs three major areas of programming that seek to decolonize learning and resources, help mitigate the social disparities of health in communities of color, and establish itself as an community building and amplification tool for those in need of philanthropic support or social awareness. The programs center the voices, experiences, and expertise of Black MaGes, disabled people, queer people, and all those who are directly impacted by the issues at hand.
