What Leadingage Minnesota does

Programs
On its FY2024 return the organization reported starting a significant new program.
Leadingage Minnesota launched 'caring careers start here,' an initiative to recruit individuals into careers as caregivers or other roles within the long-term care sector. Funded by a grant from the minnesota department of health, this project includes a comprehensive website with curated information on senior care careers, an employer matching feature, and resources on training, testing, and securing employment.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 2).
Education: Leadingage Minnesota provided its members with hundreds of education programs required to maintain professional credentials for licensed nursing home administrators, licensed assisted living directors, registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, social workers, and more. The types of programs delivered were conferences, regional meetings, certificate programs, leadership training, webinars, workshops, and on-demand learning. The topics covered included workforce, dementia care, supervision, leadership, management, reimbursement, regulatory compliance, and quality, among others.
Advocacy: the organization provided information to elected and appointed officials on a range of issues impacting older adult services. This includes regular meetings with agency staff and regulators. The organization also provided testimony during the state legislative session, monitored legislative hearings, advocated for changes in laws and rules related to aging services, and tracked legislation of interest to members.
Information and technical assistance: Leadingage Minnesota published a weekly newsletter and a weekly update, reaching more than 15,000 people via email each week. Additionally, the organization hosted interactive forums called "coaching rooms and "huddles" each month to provide information and assistance to members. Staff also provided hundreds of hours of one-on-one assistance to an estimated 600 member organizations regarding regulatory compliance, payment, quality, workforce, surveys, governance, media relations, and more. Leadingage Minnesota also developed and updated manuals, other technical resources, and expanded our website resource library to support members in their missions of service to seniors in minnesota.
Networking: the organization gathered members together through professional networks, district meetings, and other networking events to build relationships and share peer-to-peer learning.
The 4 programs described on its FY2024 Form 990, listed largest first by expense.
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 2020 to 2021, from $12M to $16M (+28%).
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: 2022 1% · 2023 4% · 2024 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. 1 of the last 8 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.
