Find Aid for the Aged, Inc.
City-funded organization
Find Aid for the Aged, Inc., also known as Project FIND, is a Manhattan nonprofit that operates older adult (senior) centers and supportive housing on the West Side, serving thousands of seniors through congregate meals, social programs, and case management. The city is its primary funder: it holds $6.7 million in active NYC Department for the Aging and Department of Social Services contracts for older adult center and senior tenant services, out of $67 million awarded since 2010, and it has received City Council discretionary funding every year since FY2009 ($1.1 million across 80 awards). 75% of its contract value ($50 million across 35 contracts) was awarded without a fresh competitive bid, mostly through renewals of existing senior center contracts. Its Executive Director, Mark Jennings, was paid $213,703 in FY2024, per the organization's IRS Form 990.
