What Eras Senior Network Inc does
Mission
Engaging and supporting seniors, adults with disabilities, and family caregivers to lead meaningful lives. Service areas are milwaukee county and waukesha county, wisconsin.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
On its FY2025 return the organization reported a significant change in how it conducts a program.
In 2025, eras was awarded fiscal agent section 5310 including service areas eras senior network - waukesha county, interfaith caregivers of washington county and interfaith caregivers of ozaukee county.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 3).
Engaging seniors: volunteer management engages community members, corporate teams and congregation groups in volunteer opportunities to support seniors. Volunteers are matched with older adults in milwaukee county and waukesha county to provide supportive services such as transportation to healthcare appointments, transportation to the grocery store or food pantry, seasonal yard services or wellness telephone calls. In addition, eras engages adults age 55+ to respond to community needs through the americorps seniors retired and senior volunteer program in milwaukee county and waukesha county. Eras maintains partnerships with school districts, government agencies, and nonprofit organizations to identify local needs, and develop high-impact, meaningful service opportunities for rsvp volunteers. Annually our agency places 250 retired and senior-aged volunteers in two waukesha county school districts to provide one on one tutoring, serve as pen pals and provide classroom support. We measure the impact of this work through pre-tests and post-tests of students who are impacted by the volunteers' efforts, with the districts providing the data.
$333,182 spent21% of program spendingSupporting seniors: the faith in action program supports the growing number of milwaukee county and waukesha county seniors who do not qualify for government entitlement programs, who lack sufficient income to purchase services, and who do not have an informal support system to help with daily activities (grocery shopping, transportation, home safety projects, managing finances). Services are offered at no charge to seniors, helping them to live on a fixed income. By supporting seniors who have no other options for their care, the program assists them in living meaningful lives. Services provided by trained volunteers ensure that each senior has time needed for completing tasks without concern of paying an hourly fee.
$540,571 spent35% of program spendingThe mobility management project provides a knowledgeable, compassionate strategy for transit-dependent seniors, adults with disabilities, and family caregivers to access transportation through waukesha county's transportation system. The project includes training in public transit, written and internet resources about available transportation services, outreach to transit-dependent individuals and groups, and one-on-one support for riders and their family caregivers. The availability of new and existing transportation services in waukesha county are shared by printing and distributing find-a-ride network waukesha county resource guides and updating and promoting the informational website for find-a-ride network. Travel coordination assistance is provided through telephone and in-person consultations for eras clients, caregivers, and seniors and adults with disabilities whose unmet needs extend beyond eras volunteer driver program and find a ride network van service.

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 $1.1M to $1.4M (+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: 2017 43% · 2018 43% · 2019 46% · 2020 59% · 2021 59% · 2022 59% · 2023 55% · 2024 63% · 2025 60%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 5 funders to 11 funders, grant income rose $146k → $401k.
7 of 33 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 9% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of ERAS SENIOR NETWORK INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 33 funders by total. Association, not causation.

How concentrated its funding is
ERAS SENIOR NETWORK INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 60% of grant income and the top three 78%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
83% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund ERAS SENIOR NETWORK INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 83% · 2018 63% · 2019 79% · 2020 79% · 2021 52% · 2022 51% · 2023 60% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. 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.

Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $268k arriving through sponsors registered in 6 states 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.
