Overview

Mission

To organize the raising and maintenance of funds for the use by the Beach City Volunteer Fire Department which is part of the Village of Beach City.

What it reported doing in 2025

The exempt purpose of the association is to raise money for the Beach City Fire Department so the fire department can provide services to the Village of Beach City and the surrounding community. During the year, the money that was raised and used to support the fire department allowed the fire department to respond to emergency calls, provide firemen training, fire prevention awareness meetings, blood pressure checks, first aid kits, community event emergency coverage, purchase emergency equipment for the village and provide other essential services to the Village of Beach City and surrounding community.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 71% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
