Overview
Mission
The senior citizens council of greater augusta and the csra, Georgia, inc. Is organized to assist older persons in the community to secure educational, recreational, health, and welfare services; increasing opportunities of the older adults to participate in community life, enlarging their scope of activity and increasing their level of life satisfaction, promoting efficient coordination of the older person's entry into and receipt of services; providing a resource for all agencies which deal with older adults in accordance with their needs, at a central location, and which will assist and enhance and in no way detract from existing programs; implementing new services for the older adults determined appropiate by the board of directors; and to do all things needful and necessary to acomplish these aims.
What it reported doing in 2024
The council is a sponsoring agency for the senior corps network of programs. Locally they have established two programs: foster grandparents and senior companions. The council's foster grandparent program pairs volunteers with children who have special needs. These volunteers serve at least 20 hours per week in schools, shelters, and after school programs. Qualifying volunteers receive an hourly stipend and several benefits for their sevices. Senior companion program volunteers also receive the hourly stipend and special benefits. Those volunteers serve 20 hours a week by lending a hand to adults who are frail or disabled either in private homes or community sheltered workshops.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Grant-funded. 98% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.

- 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
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
