Overview

Mission

To help older adults pursue independent and active lives of purpose.

What it reported doing in 2024

Shepnet computer and technology center - this unique program provides technology training designed specifically for older adults, taught by retirees, to keep them up-to-date on computer skills, smart phones, tablets and special software. The two classrooms are located at starmount presbyterian church where volunteers manage the learning labs. This year topics included windows 10, iphone and ipad usage, google photo, and new short sessions on cloud computing/storage, security and file management.

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.
