01What it does

What Lavender Seniors of the East Bay does

Mission

To improve the lives of LGBTQ Seniors

As stated on its FY2022 Form 990-EZ.

Program

  1. This has been a difficult year. COVID 19 continues to plague our communities resulting in business closures, a strained health care system and a dramatic increase in the unhoused population. Last year we pivoted to social and educational zoom sessions to help relieve social isolation, however, the only fundraising this year has been Giving Tuesday and Give OUT Day. We are thankful for the continued support of many believers in our cause.

The program described on its FY2021 Form 990-EZ.

California out of state home

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $209k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
