Overview

Mission

To be a safe community gathering place offering programs for neighborhood children and seniors that feed, educate, nuture the whole person.

What it reported doing in 2024

Senior program: dakota street center has a very active golden agers program for senior adults in the community. Seniors gather for social activies, nutritios meals, healthy education, physical activities and educational enrichment. Regular visits by nurses from public health dayton and montgomery county, gentle exercise, learning computer and financial literacy, good nutrition and social interaction all contribute to reaching this goal. The main goal is to help seniors stay safely in their own homes with dignity and respect for as long as possible. The seniors also engage in community service, giving back to the community in several ways including and annual "community baby shower" for new and expectant mothers in the area.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
