Overview

Mission

Seniors on a Mission, Inc exists to honor, love, and encourage independent older adults inspiring them to live invigorated lives filled with purpose and grace.

What it reported doing in 2025

SoaM has believed that to ultimately change isolation, loneliness, and depression in the senior population, you must provide better senior housing. Living a healthy, purpose-filled life isnt just for the young, its also for the young at heart. With two decades of program success, the next logical step is to grow our program into a lifestyle. SoaM designed a modest-income, adult, agri-village that will allow all who live there to find purpose, build camaraderie, get healthier in a wellness-focused community that strives to honor, love, and encourage independent older adults in Body, Soul, and Spirit. This purpose-filled, faith cherishing, living environment allows for unique opportunities to offset costs by Essential Volunteer Service Hours. Unlike anything currently available in todays housing market, it is an exceptional model for all aspects of self-sustaining, senior living. Our organization has received its first $500,000.00 commitment, and donated land likely in Nassau County.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 97% 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.
  • 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 revenue has declined or grown slowly.
