What Senior Center Inc does
Mission
Since 1960, senior center, inc. (doing business as "the center") has worked to enrich the lives of older adults in our community by providing programs and opportunities that support healthy aging through social engagement, physical activity, volunteerism, creative expression, and lifelong learning. The cdc recognizes the aging of america's population as a significant public health challenge for the 21st century. Improving quality of life and promoting independence among older adults has become a national priority. Research shows that older adults who participate in programs like those offered by the center experience better health outcomes, are more likely to age in place successfully, and may incur lower healthcare costs. In fy25 (april 1, 2024-march 31, 2025), the center delivered 10,961 classes, events, programs, and trips-each one aimed at helping older adults maintain resilience, wellness, and independence.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Social/emotional wellness and recreation- social connection plays a vital role in managing the challenges of aging and in promoting overall wellness. Loneliness and isolation have been linked to poor health outcomes such as depression, high blood pressure, cognitive decline, and a greater likelihood of needing long-term care. To address these risks, the center delivered 4,251 hours of recreational programming alongside 460 hours of dedicated support groups like wise women connect, wednesday group for men, the low vision support group, and the dementia caregiver support group. These gatherings help participants build relationships and create support systems they can rely on in times of need. In an fy24 survey, 93% of respondents agreed that being part of the center helped them develop a more positive outlook on life.

In fy25, the center provided over 7,870 hours of fitness and wellness opportunities, including more than 60 ongoing fitness classes specifically designed for older adults. These classes address a wide spectrum of fitness levels and include newly added offerings like parkinson's yoga, zumba, and cardio drumming. In a recent survey, 86% of respondents reported feeling better physically as a result of participating in the center's fitness programs, and 72% said these programs helped them stay independent. Whether improving balance, strength, flexibility, or endurance, our programs aim to support each participant's ability to live a full and active life.
$5,430 spent$31,630 earned by the program0% of program spendingVolunteer opportunities - volunteering offers proven benefits for older adults, including greater happiness, broader social networks, and a stronger sense of purpose. It's also associated with longer life expectancy. In fy25, 606 volunteers contributed 47,048hours of service at the center and across dozens of local nonprofit organizations. According to the virginia office on volunteerism and community services, these hours were estimated to have an economic value of over 1.5m. With a lean staffing structure, the center relies heavily on its volunteers, who provide more than half of the labor needed to operate the organization. This reliance not only reduces costs but also deepens community involvement and connection among participants.

These offerings encourage curiosity, strengthen thinking skills, and foster a sense of belonging and shared discovery. Arts, performing arts, and crafts - engagement with the arts is linked to positive cognitive, emotional, and behavioral outcomes. Participatory arts are especially powerful as tools for promoting well-being among older adults. The center offered 3,686 hours of arts programming this year, from classes in visual arts and crafts to performance opportunities in music and theater. In addition, the center hosted 244 hours of special events, such as concerts, art exhibition receptions, and author talks.

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 2019 to 2020, from $15M to $26M (+72%).
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: 2019 12% · 2022 25%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base narrowed from 10 funders to 6 funders, grant income fell $103k → $34k.
9 of 32 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 80% 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 SENIOR CENTER INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 32 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
SENIOR CENTER INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 43% of grant income and the top three 76%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
89% 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 SENIOR CENTER INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 41% · 2018 47% · 2019 61% · 2020 78% · 2021 63% · 2022 87% · 2023 33% — 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
39% of SENIOR CENTER INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 59% 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
80% of SENIOR CENTER INC's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $673k that is directly attributable, 83% of it comes from Virginia funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $2.7M arriving through sponsors registered in 8 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.
