Overview
Mission
The Green Living Foundation, Inc., is operated exclusively for charitable, scientific, educational, and religious purposes by conducting and supporting activities for the benefit of Neosho Memorial Regional Medical Center, Inc., including: establishing and operating a home for the aged; developing programs, projects, and services designed to meet the physical, emotional, recreational, social, and other needs of the aged; supplying funds, property, services, and other support to the Medical Center in a manner which is charitable; and supporting, assisting, and promoting the interest and welfare of the Medical Center, as well as its community health programs and activities.
What it reported doing in 2025
The Green Living Foundation serves a rural area; residential options that permit the area's senior citizens to remain in the area are limited. The need for independent living facilities was initially identified in a Community Health Needs Assessment commissioned by Neosho Memorial Regional Medical Center in 2010. Green Living is focused on developing and operating a senior independent living project, and its related programs, in support of the Medical Center's community healthcare mission, and other community health initiatives. By administering an independent living program designed and operated to furnish care and housing to aged individuals in a manner that addresses their unique needs for housing, healthcare, and financial security, Green Living provides the area's senior citizens the needed option to remain in the area.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 65% 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.
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.
