Overview

Mission

The Senior Resource Center's mission is to provide programs and services that deliver essential support and resources, strengthen community involvement, and encourage the independence and well-being of all senior and adults with disabilities.

What it reported doing in 2024

The Community Care Program ("CCP") offers a variety of services to help older adults retain independence and remain at home. CCP serves approximately 500 people. The program has been in existence for over 15 years.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 79% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 96% 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. The filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
