01What it does

What Southside Senior Services Inc does

Mission

To provide transportation services to those unable to drive, support for seniors aging-in-place, and health, recreation, social interaction, and lifelong learning experiences in a multigenerational setting to benefit active adults.

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

Programs

On its FY2024 return the organization reported starting a significant new program.

We began providing two services supported by the California Public Utilities Commission: Digital Literacy training for seniors and others, which involved classes for basic computer skills; and Broadband Access, wherein we provide access to the internet, including loaner laptops, for any member of the public. This is supported by a reimbursable grant. During 2024, we incurred significant expense, but did not apply for reimbursement until mid 2025 (first year of grant).

Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 2).

  1. Transportation services: There are two components -- the "Wheels" program, which provides free rides to medical and other appointments to non-driving seniors and disabled persons, using volunteer drivers and vehicles; and the "WAVE" program, which uses a small, wheelchair-compatible bus and a minivan, with paid drivers, to provide scheduled transportation to Sonora (30 miles) and Modesto (60 miles). The Wheels program serves approximately 200 rides per year for approximately 40 unique persons, and the WAVE program provides approximately 200 multi-rider services per year for approximately 30 unique persons. This is fully reimbursed via a Federal Transportation Agency 5310 grant.

  2. The Little House is a converted residence, leased from Tuolumne County, which is a popular community gathering place, offering complimentary Wi-Fi, information about social services available in Tuolumne county, congregate lunches, classes and lectures, health and fitness programs, and special events. Our daily classes include yoga, balance and core exercises for seniors, needlework craft group, line dancing, games, and much more. Classes are provided in Digital Literacy, and we provide Broadband Access for participants. Approximately 100 persons participate in one or more offerings in the course of a year.

  3. Village on The Hill is a membership service for our senior community. Our volunteers provide various helpful services, such as running errands, shopping, light bulb, and smoke alarm maintenance, watering plants, transporting trash, making daily safety phone calls, taking walks around the neighborhood, and providing friendly visits. These services are invaluable in allowing seniors to remain safely in their homes for a longer period of time. There are approximately 70 members in this program.

The organization over time

Each line starts at 100 in 2022, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2022, 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.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2020 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income rose $297 → $41k.

3 of 4 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 75% 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 SOUTHSIDE SENIOR SERVICES INC’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

SOUTHSIDE SENIOR SERVICES INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 49% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 2 funders.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left

100% 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 SOUTHSIDE SENIOR SERVICES INC.

Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 63% — 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

75% of SOUTHSIDE SENIOR SERVICES 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 $26k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from California funders.

CA

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $76k 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.
