Overview

Mission

Our organization advocates for and protects firefighters professional interests by promoting safe working conditions providing educational resources and training supporting firefighters in their times of need and representing our members in labor negotiations and public policy discussions.

What it reported doing in 2025

Program Title: IAFF Membership Dues and Social Security Advocacy Impact Description: Membership dues paid by our members serve as a critical investment in our unions ability to influence policy at national and international levels. This year through our affiliation with the International Association of Firefighters IAFF these dues helped fund lobbying efforts that successfully led to the passage of the Social Security Fairness Act. This landmark legislation has increased Social Security benefits for firefighters directly aligning with our mission to protect and support our members financial well-being. Impact: Advocacy Success: The passage of the Social Security Fairness Act has increased Social Security benefits for hundreds if not thousands of firefighters ensuring improved long-term financial security. Member Investment: This outcome demonstrates how our collective membership dues can be effectively leveraged to secure significant legislative victories that benefit our entire community. Sustainable Change: By supporting robust advocacy efforts through our IAFF membership we help create lasting policy improvements that safeguard the welfare of firefighters both now and in the future.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Transfer-based 990-EZ. The 990-EZ reports grants or member benefits, but it does not separate enough spending to show the nonprofit’s full delivery mix.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and expenses are high relative to revenue.
