What Diablo Valley Foundation For The Aging does
Mission
Founded by a group of Community leaders including Dean S. Lesher, former publisher of the Contra Costa Times, and Katherine M. Grant, a social worker, the Foundation is committed to providing vital services to aging persons who are at risk because they are alone, isolated, pressed by financial problems, or are confused. The focus of DVFA is to prevent inappropriate institutionalization of elders by providing them the necessary support to maintain them in community.
As stated on its FY2026 Form 990.
Program
DVFA has served over 5,000 older adults in Contra Costa county and has continued to be a leading agency in senior services. Fiduciary services and money management is one of the major service components. DVFA serves as a representative under a durable power of attorney program in the event of an emergency or decline in health. Executor, Trustee, and conservatory services are also available.

The program described on its FY2025 Form 990. Program spending in total: $5,452.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2019 to 2020, from $979k to $716k (−27%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2020 2% · 2021 18% · 2022 4% · 2023 3%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 8 of the last 10 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
The chief executive listed changed between the FY2017 and FY2018, and between the FY2018 and FY2019 filings.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $140 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
