What Newark Senior Center Inc does
Mission
The nsc enhances the lives of the 50+ community by providing resources and opportunities for growth in body, mind and spirit. The nutrition and fitness programs provide opportunities to imporve or maintain physical health. A variety of educational and social opportunities help to stimulate mental activities and support a general sense of well being. The transportation program provides access to everything offered by the center for the most frail and least mobile of our members. The new meeting of minds provides a guided group experience for those in the early stages of memory loss.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs

In each area there are a wide array of options to meet the needs of every level of ability.

The newest program, meeting of minds, provides a guided group experience for those experiencing early stages of memory loss. Many educational programs are made possible by the generous spirit of our many volunteers who have a wealth of experience and knowledge to share with others.

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 2022 to 2023, from $6.9M to $9.2M (+32%).
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 32% · 2018 12% · 2019 29% · 2020 20% · 2021 47% · 2022 29% · 2023 20% · 2024 26% · 2025 15%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
35% of NEWARK SENIOR CENTER INC’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (81% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 5 funders to 10 funders, grant income rose $60k → $976k.
3 of 15 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 23% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

How concentrated its funding is
NEWARK SENIOR CENTER INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 43% of grant income and the top three 74%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
46% 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 NEWARK SENIOR CENTER INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 39% · 2018 35% · 2019 45% · 2020 24% · 2021 27% · 2022 60% · 2023 77% — growing more concentrated.
“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.
How long its funders stay
73% of NEWARK SENIOR CENTER INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 67% give in more than one year at all.
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
94% of NEWARK SENIOR CENTER INC's grant income comes from Delaware funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $402k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
