What AARP Foundation Experience Corps Evansville does

Carver Community Organization is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 1944 in Evansville, Indiana, operating three purpose-built facilities in downtown Evansville (Carver Neighborhood Center at 400 SE 8th Street, Carver Youth Programs at 100 E Walnut Street, and Carver Senior Services Center at 504 SE 8th Street) to serve residents of Evansville and Vanderburgh County. The organization delivers multigenerational programming spanning early childhood education (state-licensed, Paths to QUALITY Level 3 rated childcare for ages 6 weeks to 12 years using The Creative Curriculum), youth development (K-5 After School Program, Camp Summer Breeze summer camp, Pathfinders Project S.T.E.A.M. for 6th-8th graders, Extreme Sports Program, and college-prep pathways via GROUPS and Upward Bound), senior services (Senior Recreation Program for ages 50+, RSVP Volunteer Program sponsored by the Corporation for National and Community Service, and intergenerational activities), and auxiliary programming such as Carver Reel TV youth news production.

The organization has no proprietary technology platform; its digital footprint is a standard WordPress website built by Gray Loon with no APIs, SDKs, or AI capabilities. Service delivery is entirely on-site at the three physical facilities, with limited school-to-facility transportation. The go-to-market motion is community-led, relying on word-of-mouth, partner referrals, and the organization's 80-year reputation rather than paid advertising, with marketing concentrated in content marketing (website), email, partner referrals (20+ partner organizations), community events (annual gala, intergenerational programming), and organic social.

Revenue is generated through a hybrid model combining individual and corporate donations, foundation grants (Alcoa Foundation, Welborn Baptist Foundation, Community Foundation Alliance, Cecil & Mable Hammon Foundation, Mammie L. Young Charitable Trust, Arts Council of Southwestern Indiana), federal funding (CACFP meal reimbursements, CNCS sponsorship of RSVP), United Way allocations, corporate gala sponsorships (Jagoe Homes Platinum; Deaconess, Liberty Federal, Old National, F.C. Tucker Emge Gold), and modest program fees (sliding-scale childcare accepting CCDF and On My Way Pre-K vouchers, $10 after-school registration, $80/week summer camp, small senior membership fee). The organization is governed by a board of directors, led by Executive Director Deiona Clayton (the first female ED, appointed 2024), and maintains a staff of approximately 15 employees.
