Overview
Mission
The mission of the seven county senior federation (scsf) as a nonprofit, member led organization is to bring public attention to social and economic issues affecting older adults and to advocate for effective solutions.
What it reported doing in 2024
Operation of two secondhand stores that sell mostly clothing and small household items. These stores provide opportunities for seniors to work alongside their peers and also provide a low cost place to shop. The organization also provides vouchers to other area organizations that help the needy. These vouchers are used in the stores to purchase clothing.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 90% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- 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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
