Overview

Mission

To assist seniors in living independently in their homes

What it reported doing in 2023

Community building and wellness- the ne senior newsletter reached 1,000 seniors, family and friends via us mail. A bit of fun reached 8-10 seniors weekly via landline, cellphones and computers. Face masks were mailed to seniors, referrals were made to in-home foot care, and fresh vegetables and fruits delivered. Staff answered over 920 inquiries from seniors

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 82% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
