Overview

Mission

A multipurpose community where seniors can assemble and find fulfillment of needs for all seniors in the harvey co/hesston area

What it reported doing in 2024

Operate and maintain a facility which provides approximately 350 area seniors with recreational, cultural, education, social, financial, community service and intergenerational programs

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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
