Overview

Mission

Orange Elderly Services, Inc. is dedicated to providing services to the elderly located in the City of Orange through programs such as Focal Point, Meals on Wheels, recreational activities, health, and informational services.

What it reported doing in 2024

The Orange Senior Center provides 45 programs for over 300 seniors daily as well as serving approximately 60 seniors a hot lunch daily. The lunch program is offered on voluntary contribution. The Orange Senior Center is a focal point for seniors in the City of Orange regarding senior programming, presentations and fellowship.

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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
