Overview
Mission
LOWLINC, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, provides a variety of programs and services that empower older adults in our community to remain living safely and independently in their own homes, with continued connection and engagement. Services were provided by 160 trained and vetted volunteers who provided more than 10,000 volunteer hours during 2023
What it reported doing in 2024
Health and Wellness support provides programs that encourage older adults in our community to take an active role in managing their health and wellbeing. Programs include a weekly walking program, monthly education series on topics such as nutrition, home modifications for safety, estate planning, and fitness. LOWLINC hosts an annual flu and COVID-19 drive-through vaccine clinic in partnership with a local pharmacy. A Caregiver Discussion group supports the needs of caregivers providing care for older adults. LOWLINC partnered with our local Area Agency on Aging to provide a 6-week program on self-care when living with a chronic disease, with lunch provided by LOWLINC. Expenses related to these programs include staff salaries, program supplies, and refreshments.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
- 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
