Overview

Mission

Through powerful storytelling, education, and community engagement we work for a future where everyone has a safe and stable housing.

What it reported doing in 2025

No place to grow old is a public education and community engagement program that uses documentary film and facilitated discussions to raise awareness about housing insecurity and homelessness. Through screenings, partnerships, and dialogue, the program shares lived experiences, highlights systemic challenges, and fosters informed community conversations to inspire action and advance more equitable housing solutions.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 87% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
