Overview
Mission

What it reported doing in 2023
We hosted 4 training events, 2 networking events, our largest fire protection expo ever, our largest golf tournament ever, resolved several long time administrative issues, migrated all of our marketing materials and event notifications through to our website, modernized our board of directors and bylaws, simplified our financial system, and provided our largest ever charitable donation.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 68% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- 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
MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
