Strengthening families and individuals in southeast Alaska, with dignity, care, and compassion.

What it reported doing in 2024

Through its southeast senior services division, catholic community service promotes the health, independence, and quality of life of seniors living in southeast Alaska. The nutrition, transportation and support services grant and partnerships with local tribes and communities provides the means for the agency to provide 1,093 seniors with over 77,804 hot, nutritious meals through the network of 10 senior centers. Over 810 seniors and people with disabilitilies obtained 45,930 rides in order to access vital community resources.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 66% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
