Overview
Mission
Neighbors Who Care Inc. NWC inspires a robust network of volunteers who respond to the ever changing needs of our aging community, helping them live at home with pride, dignity and independence.
What it reported doing in 2024
Neighbors Who Care NWC recruits and orients volunteers to provide nonmedical assistive services to homebound and disabled seniors allowing them to continue living and aging independently in their own homes. NWC serves a population of homebound and/or frail older adults who meet the definition of disabled under current federal law. Our 427 active volunteers provide services such as transportation to medical appointments, access to groceries or other errands, meal delivery, small home repairs, business assistance, reassurance phone calls, friendly visits, caregiver respite, and a facilitated caregiver support group. NWC also provides follow-up for vulnerable seniors upon discharge from medical facilities, receiving referrals from case workers. During the 12/31/2024 year, our volunteers supplied more than 7,500 hours of assistance, driving more than 60,000 miles to assist 467 individuals on more than 7,500 occasions, permitting them to remain in their homes for an average of five additional years. See Schedule O for the remaining description.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 87% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 98% 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.
