These programs are designed to encourage older adults to live active, involved and independent lives. Just over 5,000 members participated in more than 50 weekly programs, special events and educations opportunities. We coordinate and monitor over 200 volunteers who provided more than 53,569 hours of volunteer services to agencies and nonprofits in the county. We published 7 newsletters in addition to our e-newsletter and social media posts to keep our consumers informed on events.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 81% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 99% 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 some filed totals do not add up.
