What Elderwise Learning does
Mission
The mission of Elderwise Learning is to offer opportunities for lifelong learning and camaraderie to adults in southeast Michigan.
As stated on its FY2026 Form 990-EZ.
Program
Elderwise offered 3 terms of classes for seniors, each term offered an average of 55 two hour sessions. We have about 270 active members and each session is attended by about 20 members. Our goal is active, engaged and socialized seniors and we are achieving that goal. We are finally rebounding from the loss of attendees we experienced during Covid.

The program described on its FY2026 Form 990-EZ. Program spending in total: $69,023.
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. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
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 $70k to $44k (−38%).
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.
23% of ELDERWISE LEARNING’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (65% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 10 reported years ran a deficit.
