Revenue model

1. Government Grants and Funding: LSC receives significant federal and state government funding for health and human services programs including refugee resettlement, senior services, child welfare programs, and adult services. Programs are highly regulated with strict accountability requirements for every dollar granted.
2. Private Donations: Individual and organizational donations support the organization's mission. LSC actively diversifies funding streams through private philanthropy to reduce reliance on government funding and ensure program continuity during funding disruptions.
3. Program Services Revenue: Revenue from senior living communities, adult day services, and other fee-for-service programs. The New Americans Program constitutes approximately 10% of the overall organizational budget.

Direct peers

• Presbyterian Senior Living: Faith-based (Presbyterian) nonprofit operating a multi-state CCRC and senior services portfolio.
