Impact evidence

Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.

Programs described in its return (3)
  1. $299,694 spent. EMPLOYEE RECOGNITION. The membership of the Association consists only of all residents of Laurel Lake Retirement Community, Inc. (LLRC), a continuing care retirement community, who have paid their entrance fee to LLRC. LLRC prohibits all its employees and staff from accepting any gratuity from residents. In order to acknowledge and express their appreciation for services received, the Association conducts a fund-raising event among only its members and delivers all funds collected to LLRC for distribution to all employees and staff except LLRC's CEO and those senior managers who report directly to the CEO. Approximately 202 employees received a minimum payment (before taxes) of $51 up to a maximum of approximately $2,160, allocated based on hours worked. Approximately 83% of all residents contributed.
  2. $41,346 spent. RESIDENT PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES. As members transition from independent living to assisted living, long-term care and skilled-nursing care and eventually die, they or their survivors donate used household furniture and other items to the Association. The Association sells these items to other members and to the general public. Funds received, except for nominal amounts spent for supplies and fees, are either used to plan, develop, implement and support social and educational programs and activities for its members, or are donated to non-profit organizations whose services benefit the Association's members. Recurring resident programs and activities have included supporting residents who plant and tend vegetable and flower gardens; knitting caps for children; hand make wooden toys at Christmas for needy children, growing, gathering, purchasing, arranging and delivering flowers to long-term care and skilled-nursing residents; maintaining a library of more than 5,220 volumes plus 671 DVDs; delivering used fabric and clothing for recycling or distribution to the poor and homeless; and organizing and presenting educational programs on recycling and care of the environment.
  3. $10,000 spent. Donation to the City of Hudson Emergency Medical Services for a L.U.C.A.S. device used in their ambulance during emergency transportation
