Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

We have a goal to provide meals to any older adult in need and to provide between 200,000 - 500,000 meals annually.

To ensure we can provide support for up to 400,000 meals for around 3000 residents, it will require the following:
1) A top notch kitchen with skilled staff that are paid a living wage
2) Updating our technology to allow for a quick delivery process for between 200-400 clients daily. This will require an investment in driving direction navigation, client services systems, and updating our phone systems.
3) Sustainable funding to raise between $2 million - $4 million dollars annually to cover the costs of high quality food that is nutritious, medically tailored, and meets personal & cultural needs for every older adult client. This will require seeking diversified funding from grant-writing, fundraising & events, donor cultivation & estate gift planning, client financial contributions, government funding at all levels, and finding cost effective ways to reduce overhead.
4) Investing in staff. This will require training and adding clinical members to the team so that we can ensure older adults have access to wrap around support services.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jul 01 - Jun 30

SOURCE: IRS Form 990 info

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.
