What Lebanon Senior Citizens Center does
Mission
The senior center serves its community as a health service provider, an aging advocate, an information resource, a practitioner training laboratory and a source of experienced older workers, paid and volunteer. To the older person, the senior center is a source of opportunities: to enjoy supportive social and recreational contacts with peers. To maintain or regain a sense of self-esteem, to develop or expand knowledge and skills, to obtain assistance or access to assistance. Uniting community efforts toward older people, the senior center encompasses advocacy, a place to socialize, maintain a sense of self-esteem, expand knowledge and skills.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
The center prepares affordable meals 5 days a week at the center and delivers meals to the homebound seniors in the area in excess of 50,000 meals per year. The center provides activities such as crafts, movies, fitness lessons, etc for the senior citizens to enjoy, often at no cost to them. The revenues include those charged to the senior citizens for the lunch program and activity and travel fees collected, as well as the operating grants and contributions received from various governmental organizations and individuals that help defray the costs not covered by the resident charges and fees collected.

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 2017 to 2018, from $621k to $984k (+58%).
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 3% · 2018 2% · 2019 2% · 2020 16% · 2021 15% · 2022 5% · 2023 5% · 2024 14% · 2025 18%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
69% of Lebanon Senior Citizens Center’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (91% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 4 funders, grant income rose $12k → $47k.
2 of 6 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 12% 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 Lebanon Senior Citizens Center’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. 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.
How concentrated its funding is
Lebanon Senior Citizens Center leans on a few funders — its largest provides 58% of grant income and the top three 94%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
36% 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 Lebanon Senior Citizens Center.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 69% · 2019 83% · 2020 58% · 2021 56% · 2022 69% · 2023 74% — 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.
Where its funders are
100% of Lebanon Senior Citizens Center's grant income comes from Tennessee funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $52k 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. 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.
