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. $390,318 spent. Our 26-year history of providing day-long, age-appropriate Mission Trips, otherwise known as group service opportunities, continues! Even with the pivot due to Covid, our 3,200+ senior adults have donated the value of $4,170,000 in excellent service to help enable 131 collaborating nonprofit organizations to make 6,033,000 individual life touches, since 2005 when we started accounting for the seniors service time with signup sheets. 2025 In-kind donations totaled approx $122,500. All In-kind support is ESSENTIAL. SoaM reduced the frequency of our traditional mission trips after the Covid shift, but pleased they are making a comeback...offering at least 2 - 3 every month, beyond our expanding program services. (Please see below our Technology PopUp services.)
  2. In 2025, Seniors on a Mission FLORISHED once again! At yearend, over 518 senior adults had attended multiple 30-60 minute, one-on-one technology session created specifically in response to the outcry for help from the seniors themselves. We expanded our outreach through the Technology PopUps to five counties and 70% of our technology senior adult students are NEW to our organization. 99% of senior respondents agreed, or strongly agreed, that the training was beneficial; the seniors stated they were more confident using their devices, and would suggest the training to a friend or family member. 96% thought the training ENHANCED their ability to connect with family & friends. Most seniors served were low-income, with 80% living below the area median income (AMI). 76% of the seniors were over 70 years old, and EVERYONE was thankful the training was free and in a location near them!
  3. SoaM has believed that to ultimately change isolation, loneliness, and depression in the senior population, you must provide better senior housing. Living a healthy, purpose-filled life isnt just for the young, its also for the young at heart. With two decades of program success, the next logical step is to grow our program into a lifestyle. SoaM designed a modest-income, adult, agri-village that will allow all who live there to find purpose, build camaraderie, get healthier in a wellness-focused community that strives to honor, love, and encourage independent older adults in Body, Soul, and Spirit. This purpose-filled, faith cherishing, living environment allows for unique opportunities to offset costs by Essential Volunteer Service Hours. Unlike anything currently available in todays housing market, it is an exceptional model for all aspects of self-sustaining, senior living. Our organization has received its first $500,000.00 commitment, and donated land likely in Nassau County.
