Overview

Mission

To gather and disseminate information and make available a forum to discuss fire prevention problems; to establish and provide educational services and programs for the public at large relating to fire prevention and other disasters; to foster and promote goodwill between the fire department of the town of boylston and the citizens and inhabitants of the town of boylston, and to perform and provide charitable services of any kind in the time of disaster, whether caused by nature or man.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 73% 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
