Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
The Senior Center of Elk Grove's focus is on the health and well-being of the seniors in our community. We know that happy, active seniors are healthier - which helps relieve some of the strain on our health system - and remain an integral part of their communities. The seniors volunteer, purchase cars, homes, gifts for family and friends, eat out and participate in functions.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
The Senior Center of Elk Grove offers over 100 hours of programs every week for seniors to participate in. We offer more than 30 exercise programs, ranging from Chair Exercise to Zumba, Aerobics to Sambassa World Fitness and so much more.
Creative endeavors such as Guitar Workshop, Writer's Group, Get Artsy, Card Making and Open Artists Studio help keep both their minds and bodies working together. Genealogy give the seniors The friendships they make with like minded people help their emotional well-being, too.
Games keep their minds active. The seniors love Bunco, Bridge, Mahjong and of course, Bingo! Active minds, along with a healthy dose of fun and friendships help stave off loneliness and keep the seniors looking forward to getting up in the morning.
Support and Well-Being programs are a vital part of the Senior Center of Elk Grove. Men's Talk Group, Women's Talk Group, Mindfulness & Meditation give the seniors an outlet to discuss things with others. Alzheimer's Caregivers Support, Parkinson's Support and Parkinson's Caregiver Support groups are growing every month.
The Senior Center of Elk Grove is committed to serving our seniors in every way we can. Whether that means providing exercise, some fun or holding their hand, we will continue to provide a safe place for seniors to enjoy their lives, grow and remain active.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
The Senior Center of Elk Grove has a stellar group of staff, volunteers and Board members who all believe in our goals. A nonprofit senior center is rare. But, it's a huge advantage for us. There is no bureaucracy, no red tape. If there is a program the seniors want, and we can get it for them, we just simply do.
We have an active community of seniors who want to stay healthy and vibrant and encourage others to do the same. Local physicians direct their patients to our center for exercise, to combat loneliness and improve their overall health.
With fundraising, grants and the support of our community, our 44 year old organization will continue to grow and thrive for many, many years to come.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
The Senior Center of Elk Grove has continued to grow. We saw an increase of 15,000 participation check ins (not unduplicated) from the 2022/2023 to the 2023/2024 fiscal year. We added 20 programs, to bring us up to over 100 hours of programming a week. Our membership numbers have soared to 2,300 from about 1,000 at the beginning of 2022.
It is a privilege and honor to be a part of the lives of our seniors and we are so proud of the work we do. Watching them gain more confidence, become healthier, make friends and smile makes us work harder. The Senior Center is thriving and all 2,300 + of us are thrilled!

Balance sheetFiscal Year: Jul 01 - Jun 30
The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.

- We review compensation data across the organization (and by staff levels) to identify disparities by race.
- We ask team members to identify racial disparities in their programs and / or portfolios.
- We analyze disaggregated data and root causes of race disparities that impact the organization's programs, portfolios, and the populations served.
- We disaggregate data to adjust programming goals to keep pace with changing needs of the communities we support.
- We employ non-traditional ways of gathering feedback on programs and trainings, which may include interviews, roundtables, and external reviews with/by community stakeholders.
- We disaggregate data by demographics, including race, in every policy and program measured.
- We have long-term strategic plans and measurable goals for creating a culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
- We use a vetting process to identify vendors and partners that share our commitment to race equity.
- We have a promotion process that anticipates and mitigates implicit and explicit biases about people of color serving in leadership positions.
- We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
- We have community representation at the board level, either on the board itself or through a community advisory board.
- We help senior leadership understand how to be inclusive leaders with learning approaches that emphasize reflection, iteration, and adaptability.
- We measure and then disaggregate job satisfaction and retention data by race, function, level, and/or team.
- We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
