Overview

Mission

Lifetime Learning Center offers educational programs to promote successful aging and the social, cognitive and physical well being of adults within our community

What it reported doing in 2024

Programs promote successful aging and the social, cognitive, and physical well-being of older adults in the Puget Sound area through stimulating educational opportunities and lifelong learning. Programs reached approximately 1250 students and included over 110 days of educational activities and community building.

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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
