Overview

Mission

SAGE of South Florida, Inc. (Seniors Active in a Gay Environment) is a non-profit organization which seeks to enrich the lives of the GLBT senior community through membership inclusive of age, gender, race, nationality, and religion. We believe this can be accomplished by sponsoring social alternatives, by providing personal interaction, by offering educational opportunities to deal with the special needs of aging, and by promoting contact with the isolated and home-bound people of our community. SAGE was founded in 1994 as a Florida Not for profit corporation (Federal Tax-Exempt Status of 501(c)(3)), allowing tax-deductible donations.

What it reported doing in 2025

SAGE of South Florida is a volunteer-driven organization that enriches the lives of older LGBT adults in Broward and Palm Beach Counties by offering more than 18 monthly events for social interaction. These events include dinners, luncheons, three distinct weekly discussion groups, a book club, movie and theater events, and educational presentations. In 2025, almost 9,000 participants attended SAGE of South Florida events. Also, in 2025, SAGE of South Florida funded a $1,500 scholarship, donated $7,750 to community charitable organizations, and the SAGE Emergency Fund distributed more than $2,000 in grants to GLBT seniors experiencing financial hardship.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and assets have declined or grown slowly.
