Overview

Mission

This organization's primary purpose is to provide seniors/disabled seniors opportunities to continue active, rich and productive life through a constantly expanding program of travel, health, education, recreation and social activities, in pleasant surroundings and as inexpensively as possible.

What it reported doing in 2024

Operation of a senior center for/serving individuals 50 plus years of age. Served approximately 103,021 seniors during our fiscal year offering various program activities and resources to encourage a healthly and active lifestyle. Also during the year we held 20 special events with 1,585 attendees.

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