1 other organization in the IRS Business Master File lists the same street address. matched by us

We match the street line and ZIP code as the IRS gives them, ignoring case and outer spaces and nothing else, so "AVE" and "AVENUE" count as different streets and this list can miss some. A shared address can mean related organizations or a shared office, but it can also be a registered agent, a mail drop or a service provider holding mail for unrelated clients. It is not, by itself, evidence that two organizations are connected.

Mission and programs · 2023

• CARE COORDINATION SPONSORSHIP OUR FOUNDATION WAS BORN FROM THE INITIAL CAMPAIGN "CARE FOR A LIFETIME". FOR OVER 25 YEARS THIS EMPLOYEE CAMPAIGN HAS RAISED MONEY DIRECTLY FROM DIRECTION HOME STAFF TO FUND THE SERVICE NEEDS OF OLDER ADULTS WHO DO NOT MEET STRICT QUALIFICATIONS FOR PUBLIC ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS BUT ARE UNABLE TO AFFORD CARE AT HOME FOR THEMSELVES. THANKS TO THE GENEROSITY OF OUR STAFF, WE WERE ABLE TO PROVIDE COMMUNITY MEMBERS IN SUMMIT, STARK, WAYNE, AND PORTAGE COUNTIES WITH ESSENTIAL SERVICES THAT ALLOWED THEM TO REMAIN IN THE COMMUNITY. IN FY24 WE SERVED 34 INDIVIDUALS, SPENDING A TOTAL OF $87,517: $4,078 IN PORTAGE COUNTY, $47,451 IN SUMMIT COUNTY, $25,201 IN WAYNE COUNTY, AND $10,787 IN STARK COUNTY.

  Expenses $87,517

Officers and directors · 2023

As listed in Part VII of the 2023 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

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. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. 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.
