Overview

Mission

Nome community center's primary objectives are to provide health, educational, and social services to residents of the bering straits region of Alaska.

What it reported doing in 2024

Xyz center - xyz is a gathering place for our community elders where meals, transportation, support services and social activities are available. Elders participate in a variety of activities including sewing, beading, knitting and other crafts. Congregate meals provide a social network for the elders to connect with one another. Home delivery of meals provides support to home-bound. Physical activity, nutritional education and vaccine clinics are among the additional supports offered.

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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and expenses are high relative to revenue.
