Overview

Mission

We design, build, test, and replicate innovations to more effectively prevent and reduce harm to, and advance the autonomy, safety, and well-being of older adults and those who care for and about them, by expanding knowledge, developing and testing new models, improving the efficacy of existing programs, and improving private and public systems.

What it reported doing in 2025

We work to make existing systems more effective and to create new ones that prevent and reduce harm and advance the autonomy, safety, and well-being of older adults and those who care for and about them using evidence-based methods.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 72% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
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. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence.
