Mission
SINCE 1960, SENIOR CENTER, INC. (DOING BUSINESS AS "THE CENTER") HAS WORKED TO ENRICH THE LIVES OF OLDER ADULTS IN OUR COMMUNITY BY PROVIDING PROGRAMS AND OPPORTUNITIES THAT SUPPORT HEALTHY AGING THROUGH SOCIAL ENGAGEMENT, PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, VOLUNTEERISM, CREATIVE EXPRESSION, AND LIFELONG LEARNING. THE CDC RECOGNIZES THE AGING OF AMERICA'S POPULATION AS A SIGNIFICANT PUBLIC HEALTH CHALLENGE FOR THE 21ST CENTURY. IMPROVING QUALITY OF LIFE AND PROMOTING INDEPENDENCE AMONG OLDER ADULTS HAS BECOME A NATIONAL PRIORITY. RESEARCH SHOWS THAT OLDER ADULTS WHO PARTICIPATE IN PROGRAMS LIKE THOSE OFFERED BY THE CENTER EXPERIENCE BETTER HEALTH OUTCOMES, ARE MORE LIKELY TO AGE IN PLACE SUCCESSFULLY, AND MAY INCUR LOWER HEALTHCARE COSTS. IN FY25 (APRIL 1, 2024-MARCH 31, 2025), THE CENTER DELIVERED 10,961 CLASSES, EVENTS, PROGRAMS, AND TRIPS-EACH ONE AIMED AT HELPING OLDER ADULTS MAINTAIN RESILIENCE, WELLNESS, AND INDEPENDENCE.
-
SOCIAL/EMOTIONAL WELLNESS AND RECREATION- SOCIAL CONNECTION PLAYS A VITAL ROLE IN MANAGING THE CHALLENGES OF AGING AND IN PROMOTING OVERALL WELLNESS. LONELINESS AND ISOLATION HAVE BEEN LINKED TO POOR HEALTH OUTCOMES SUCH AS DEPRESSION, HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, COGNITIVE DECLINE, AND A GREATER LIKELIHOOD OF NEEDING LONG-TERM CARE. TO ADDRESS THESE RISKS, THE CENTER DELIVERED 4,251 HOURS OF RECREATIONAL PROGRAMMING ALONGSIDE 460 HOURS OF DEDICATED SUPPORT GROUPS LIKE WISE WOMEN CONNECT, WEDNESDAY GROUP FOR MEN, THE LOW VISION SUPPORT GROUP, AND THE DEMENTIA CAREGIVER SUPPORT GROUP. THESE GATHERINGS HELP PARTICIPANTS BUILD RELATIONSHIPS AND CREATE SUPPORT SYSTEMS THEY CAN RELY ON IN TIMES OF NEED. IN AN FY24 SURVEY, 93% OF RESPONDENTS AGREED THAT BEING PART OF THE CENTER HELPED THEM DEVELOP A MORE POSITIVE OUTLOOK ON LIFE.

FITNESS/PHYSICAL WELLNESS - MAINTAINING PHYSICAL HEALTH IS ESSENTIAL TO PRESERVING INDEPENDENCE IN OLDER ADULTHOOD. IN FY25, THE CENTER PROVIDED OVER 7,870 HOURS OF FITNESS AND WELLNESS OPPORTUNITIES, INCLUDING MORE THAN 60 ONGOING FITNESS CLASSES SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR OLDER ADULTS. THESE CLASSES ADDRESS A WIDE SPECTRUM OF FITNESS LEVELS AND INCLUDE NEWLY ADDED OFFERINGS LIKE PARKINSON'S YOGA, ZUMBA, AND CARDIO DRUMMING. IN A RECENT SURVEY, 86% OF RESPONDENTS REPORTED FEELING BETTER PHYSICALLY AS A RESULT OF PARTICIPATING IN THE CENTER'S FITNESS PROGRAMS, AND 72% SAID THESE PROGRAMS HELPED THEM STAY INDEPENDENT. WHETHER IMPROVING BALANCE, STRENGTH, FLEXIBILITY, OR ENDURANCE, OUR PROGRAMS AIM TO SUPPORT EACH PARTICIPANT'S ABILITY TO LIVE A FULL AND ACTIVE LIFE.

-
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES - VOLUNTEERING OFFERS PROVEN BENEFITS FOR OLDER ADULTS, INCLUDING GREATER HAPPINESS, BROADER SOCIAL NETWORKS, AND A STRONGER SENSE OF PURPOSE. IT'S ALSO ASSOCIATED WITH LONGER LIFE EXPECTANCY. IN FY25, 606 VOLUNTEERS CONTRIBUTED 47,048HOURS OF SERVICE AT THE CENTER AND ACROSS DOZENS OF LOCAL NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS. ACCORDING TO THE VIRGINIA OFFICE ON VOLUNTEERISM AND COMMUNITY SERVICES, THESE HOURS WERE ESTIMATED TO HAVE AN ECONOMIC VALUE OF OVER 1.5M. WITH A LEAN STAFFING STRUCTURE, THE CENTER RELIES HEAVILY ON ITS VOLUNTEERS, WHO PROVIDE MORE THAN HALF OF THE LABOR NEEDED TO OPERATE THE ORGANIZATION. THIS RELIANCE NOT ONLY REDUCES COSTS BUT ALSO DEEPENS COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT AND CONNECTION AMONG PARTICIPANTS.
Expenses $4,027

LIFELONG LEARNING/INTELLECTUAL WELLNESS - CONTINUING TO LEARN AND GROW IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF HEALTHY AGING. INTELLECTUAL ENGAGEMENT HELPS ENHANCE MEMORY, BUILD COPING STRATEGIES, AND MAY SLOW COGNITIVE DECLINE. THIS YEAR, THE CENTER HOSTED 1,658 HOURS OF LIFELONG LEARNING PROGRAMMING. CLASSES RANGED FROM PRACTICAL WORKSHOPS LIKE SOCIAL SECURITY 101 TO ENRICHING COMMUNITY DISCUSSIONS LIKE CINEMA DISCUSSION GROUP. THESE OFFERINGS ENCOURAGE CURIOSITY, STRENGTHEN THINKING SKILLS, AND FOSTER A SENSE OF BELONGING AND SHARED DISCOVERY. ARTS, PERFORMING ARTS, AND CRAFTS - ENGAGEMENT WITH THE ARTS IS LINKED TO POSITIVE COGNITIVE, EMOTIONAL, AND BEHAVIORAL OUTCOMES. PARTICIPATORY ARTS ARE ESPECIALLY POWERFUL AS TOOLS FOR PROMOTING WELL-BEING AMONG OLDER ADULTS. THE CENTER OFFERED 3,686 HOURS OF ARTS PROGRAMMING THIS YEAR, FROM CLASSES IN VISUAL ARTS AND CRAFTS TO PERFORMANCE OPPORTUNITIES IN MUSIC AND THEATER. IN ADDITION, THE CENTER HOSTED 244 HOURS OF SPECIAL EVENTS, SUCH AS CONCERTS, ART EXHIBITION RECEPTIONS, AND AUTHOR TALKS. THESE PROGRAMS PROVIDE CREATIVE OUTLETS, ENCOURAGE SELF-EXPRESSION, AND PROMOTE JOY, INTERACTION, AND MENTAL STIMULATION. PARTNER ORGANIZATION PROGRAMS -COLLABORATING WITH OTHER LOCAL NONPROFITS STRENGTHENS THE CENTER'S ABILITY TO SERVE OUR COMMUNITY AND ALIGNS WITH BROADER PUBLIC HEALTH GOALS. THROUGH PARTNERSHIPS WITH GROUPS SUCH AS PIEDMONT MASTER GARDENERS, OSHER LIFELONG LEARNING INSTITUTE, ALZHEIMER'S ASSOCIATION, CHARLOTTESVILLE CLIMATE COLLABORATIVE, UVA HEALTH, SENTARA HEALTHCARE, AND MANY OTHERS, THE CENTER WAS ABLE TO OFFER 648 HOURS OF PARTNER PROGRAMMING THIS YEAR. THESE COLLABORATIONS EXPAND ACCESS TO SPECIALIZED SERVICES, SHARE LIMITED RESOURCES, AND REINFORCE A COMMUNITY- WIDE COMMITMENT TO HEALTHY AGING. THE CENTER IS ALSO AN ACTIVE PARTICIPANT IN THE CHARLOTTESVILLE AREA ALLIANCE, WORKING TO PROMOTE AGE-FRIENDLY POLICIES AND SERVICES ACROSS THE REGION.

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.
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.

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.
