Overview

Mission

ND Senior Career Development's mission is to assist North Dakota's low income residents to succeed to include seniors, children, and families. The Foster Grandparent Program (FGP) assists seniors to provide mentoring to children who need a little help one-on-one in an educational setting.

What it reported doing in 2024

The AmeriCorps Seniors Foster Grandparent Program (FGP) is a nationwide program and has been around for over 50 years. This program provides the opportunity for people 55+ from local communities to volunteer 5 to 40 hours a week working one-on-one with children in our local schools. The program's goal is to engage seniors to help children by guiding the children's emotional, social, and academic growth. Qualifying volunteers will also receive required training, an hourly stipend, and reimbursements for meals and mileage. The FGP contract must be zeroed out at the end of the fiscal year. Any money unused is returned to AmeriCorps.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 100% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 94% 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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
