Program
Senior Planet is the name of the award-winning set of program experiences through which OATS engages a diverse array of older adults and the organizations that serve them across America. Individual Senior Planet participants share a collective commitment to "Aging with Attitude and their active participation in the world-class programming that OATS delivers through a variety of delivery channels sparks measurable changes in outlook and behavior that produce outcomes in specific dimensions of an older adult's life: increased social connection, improved health, greater financial security, more active participation as citizens and advocates, and access to new pathways to creativity.While OATS itself delivers Senior Planet programs in person in several key US markets and virtually at seniorplanet.org, the organization also offers a unique licensing program that enables hundreds of qualified community-based sites to provide in-person Senior Planet experiences to older residents in their local urban, suburban, and rural communities in more than 39 states across America.Below is a summary of the key accomplishments of OATS in 2025.2025 Key Projects:Senior Planet delivered 845,000…

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 2023 to 2024, from $11M to $15M (+43%).
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 71% · 2018 37% · 2019 44% · 2020 33% · 2021 29% · 2022 25% · 2023 21% · 2024 16% · 2025 13%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
86% of Older Adults Technology Services’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (23% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 9 funders, grant income rose $10k → $7.6M.
12 of 30 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 6% 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 Older Adults Technology Services’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 29 of 30 funders by total. 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
Older Adults Technology Services leans on a few funders — its largest provides 65% of grant income and the top three 86%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
85% 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 Older Adults Technology Services.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 63% · 2019 52% · 2020 68% · 2021 88% · 2022 72% · 2023 75% — 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.
How long its funders stay
20% of Older Adults Technology Services's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 43% 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
Older Adults Technology Services draws 99% of its grant income from funders outside New York, across 8 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $2.2M arriving through sponsors registered in 9 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.
