Overview

Mission

To promote and educate older adults on matters of wellness and health.

What it reported doing in 2024

Local games program: North Carolina has the largest network of local senior gamers in the nation. A year round program of sports, arts, workshops, clinics, and wellness events is offered. Many of the participants in these programs competed to qualify for the annual state finals held each fall. Educational programs for statewide staff are offered, as are newsletters, publications, a statewide walking program (silverstriders), a statewide dance program (silverliners), and an excellent website. Over 20 statewide organizations and agencies endorse and help coordinate this large award-winning program.

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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
