Overview

Mission

To help our neighbors maintain their independence and quality of life through interfaith community volunteers who are trained and supported by the interfaith caregivers program.

What it reported doing in 2015

Transportation services - interfaith caregivers program volunteers assist primarily the elderly population of summit county with maintaining their independence in the community by providing transportation to essential non-emergency medical appointments, grocery shopping and running essential errands such as picking up medication. Without this transportation service many of our elderly care recipients would not be able to keep their medical appointments and purchase groceries reducing their level of health and quality of life. As the aging population continues to increase the need for transportation services offered by the program will only continue to rise. In 2015 our volunteers provided over 1,340 units of transportation services. What is unique about the services provided by interfaith caregivers program is that our volunteers provide door-to-door service, wait for the care recipient at the medical appointments, assist with the grocery shopping and carry the groceries inside the care recipient's home.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 90% 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.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
