Mission
The friendship center is a non-profit corporation for the purpose of allowing children ages 2 1/2 to 6 the opportunity to be cared for in a safe, secure, and christian environment which offers opportunities to promote the growth of the whole child - physically, socially, emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually. Opportunities will be offered for interacting with retired men and women through special intergenerational programs.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
The friendship center is an intergenerational child care facility that incorporates senior citizens from heath village, an adjacent retirement community, into its child care programs. Senior volunteers assist the center's professional staff by teaching foreign languages, conducting nature walks, providing musical accompaniment, reading stories, and supervising craft and woodworking projects. Children also interact with seniors through a pen pal program, at special events and at holiday celebrations. Other programs and activities include art, computers, dance, science/nature, soccer, swim lessons, and more. The facility also utilizes an interactive white board which incorporates technology into the lesson plans. The programs are developmentally age appropriate and are designed to foster self-confidence, improve competence in self-help skills, and develop those language abilities and inner controls necessary for effective social interaction. The facility stresses the process of learning and discovery to prepare the child for the many and varied learning situations he or she will encounter throughout life, attaching equal importance to emotional, physical, social and intellectual…

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 2021 to 2022, from $833k to $734k (−12%).
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: 2021 17% · 2022 21% · 2023 8%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.
