What RSVP OF CENTRAL OKLAHOMA INC does

RSVP of Central Oklahoma Inc is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1972 and headquartered in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. For 53 years, it operated as the local affiliate of the federal AmeriCorps Seniors RSVP (Retired and Senior Volunteer Program), connecting adults aged 55 and older with meaningful volunteer opportunities at more than 65 nonprofit partner agencies throughout Oklahoma County, including Edmond, Harrah, Midwest City, and Oklahoma City. Its core services consisted of volunteer registration and enrollment, personalized placement with partner agencies, and a volunteer hours tracking and reporting system; the organization did not operate a proprietary technology platform, relying instead on its website (rsvpokc.org), email newsletters, partner-agency referrals, and community events for outreach.

The organization's business model was non-commercial and donation-driven. Volunteer services were provided free of charge to adults 55+, supplemented by free accident and personal liability insurance. Revenue streams comprised individual donations (ranging from $5 to $5,000+ on a one-time or recurring basis), an endowment fund held at the Oklahoma City Community Foundation that distributed 5% of fund value annually, and AmeriCorps Seniors programmatic support. Customer segments were primarily older adult volunteers (primary), 501(c)(3) nonprofit agencies receiving volunteer support (primary), and individual donors (secondary). The organization employed a small team of approximately six staff including Executive Director Abbi Hershey, Director/Manager of Volunteer Programs, and a Communications & Outreach Specialist, governed by a volunteer board of directors.

On June 17, 2026, RSVP of Central Oklahoma announced it was closing its doors after 53 years of service and initiated a liquidation fundraiser to cover final expenses, with in-person events held at Chesapeake Community Plaza in Oklahoma City on June 19-20, 2026. Its operating status is now closed.
