Overview

Mission

To enhance independence and promote the quality of life for the senior population in the old brooklyn neighborhood of cleveland, as well as the surrounding communities. The old brooklyn neighborhood has the highest concentration of seniors per capita in cuyahoga county.

What it reported doing in 2024

Transportation: 4 vans provide over 300 seniors, many of them no longer able to drive, transportation to and from their homes in order to participate in the congregate meal, to get to their medical appointmenta, grocery stores, the local food bank, recreational outings, and the loal city recreation center, among many other locations in order to help the seniors remain independent. Most of our participants are over the age of 78 and the transportation system is a much needed service. The vans make 13,000 trips in a year, and it is one of the most valued services, but also one that is expensive to operate simply due to the oongoing maintenance and expense of maintaining safe and reliable vans.

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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

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 total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
