Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

TO PROMOTE THE DIGNITY AND INDEPENDENCE OF PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES AND SPECIAL NEEDS.

Activities or mission (Part I)

TO CREATE OPPORTUNITIES WHERE PEOPLE CAN LEARN, GROW AND AGE INDEPENDENTLY WITH DIGNITY IN COMMUNITY.

  • ADULT DAY HEALTH CARE AND COMMUNITY-BASED ADULT SERVICES ARE HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES PROVIDED IN A CONGREGATE SETTING TO OFFER THERAPEUTIC ACTIVITIES, EXERCISE, NUTRITION, AND NURTURING TO THE ADULT POPULATION WHO ARE FRAIL AND HAVE DISABILITIES. THE DAY PROGRAMMING INCLUDES THERAPIES PROVIDED BY A REGISTERED NURSE, SOCIAL WORKER, PHYSICAL SPEECH AND OCCUPATIONAL THERAPISTS, ACTIVITY COORDINATOR, AND DIRECT CARE STAFF. THESE PROGRAMS ARE OFFERED IN ANTIOCH AND PLEASANT HILL MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY FROM 9:30 AM TO 3:00 PM. THE PLEASANT HILL LOCATION PROVIDES THESE SERVICES IN ENGLISH, FARSI, AND RUSSIAN AND HAS A SPECIAL PROGRAM CALLED THE ALZHEIMER'S DAY CARE RESOURCE CENTER FOR PEOPLE IN THE MID TO LATE STAGES OF ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE OR RELATED DEMENTIA. THE PLEASANT HILL LOCATION ADDITIONALLY HAS SOCIAL DAY PROGRAMMING IN THE SAME SETTING, WHICH PROVIDES SUPERVISED ACTIVITIES WITHOUT THE SKILLED HEALTH INTERVENTIONS. THE MULTIPURPOSE SENIOR SERVICES PROGRAM (MSSP) PROVIDES MOBILE CARE MANAGEMENT TO CONTRA COSTA'S FRAILEST AND LOWEST-INCOME RESIDENTS. PEOPLE WHO ARE 65 YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER, ARE ON MEDICAL, AND ARE ELIGIBLE TO BE LIVING IN A SKILLED NURSING INSTITUTION DUE TO THEIR CHRONIC MULTIPLE HEALTH CONDITIONS ARE CARED FOR BY THEIR OWN TEAM OF A SOCIAL WORKER AND REGISTERED NURSE WHO MANAGE THEIR CARE AND ASSIST THEM TO REMAIN LIVING IN THE COMMUNITY. MSSP CARE MANAGEMENT TEAMS HELP PATIENTS GET TO THEIR MEDICAL APPOINTMENTS, GET NECESSARY IN-HOME CARE, WORK WITH THEM TO BEST MANAGE THEIR MEDICATIONS, BUILD RAMPS TO HELP MAKE THEIR HOMES ACCESSIBLE AS THEY AGE, AND SO MUCH MORE. THE CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY TRANSITIONS PROJECT (CCT) HELPS PEOPLE WHO ARE ON MEDICAL AND HAVE BEEN LIVING IN A SKILLED NURSING INSTITUTION FOR LONGER THAN 3 MONTHS AND WANT TO TRANSITION OUT OF THE FACILITY AND BACK INTO THE COMMUNITY. THE TEAM OF TRANSITION COORDINATORS WORK TO FIND HOUSING, ARRANGE FOR IN-HOME CARE, SET UP MEDICAL APPOINTMENTS, PROVIDE ADAPTATIONS TO HOMES AND VEHICLES, AND LINK THEM TO PROGRAMS THAT WILL HELP ENSURE THEIR INDEPENDENCE IN COMMUNITY LIVING.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

California fundraising campaigns

Campaigns run by paid fundraisers, commercial coventurers and thrift stores naming this organization, as California published them. Both figures are as filed, and what the first one counts depends on the campaign type — a coventurer or a thrift store files its own sales rather than money collected for the charity. The 990 reports this only as a yearly total, never per campaign.

  • CAR DONATION SERVICES INC

    $6,000 raised

    2024 CF Vehicle Donation Program

    $2,252 to charity

  • CAR DONATION SERVICES INC

    $6,425 raised

    2022 CF Vehicle Donation Program

    $3,142 to charity

  • CAR DONATION SERVICES INC

    $7,150 raised

    2021 CF Vehicle Donation Program

    $3,666 to charity

  • CAR DONATION SERVICES INC

    $3,750 raised

    2020 CF Vehicle Donation Program

    $1,963 to charity

  • CAR DONATION SERVICES INC

    $4,874 raised

    2019 CF Vehicle Donation Program

    $2,261 to charity

Amounts are as filed and do not add up: a commercial coventurer reports one promotion's whole gross once for each charity that shared in it. A campaign may also name more than one registered charity, in which case it appears on each.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
