Overview

Mission

It is the missions of Emergency Services Rescue Training, Inc. (ESRT Inc.) to develop and deliver agricultural safety and health programs and agricultural emergency response training across the United States. ESRT specializes in providing training opportunities for emergency and rescue teams, farm and agricultural industry owners, managers & employees, and farm families (all ages).

What it reported doing in 2025

Under a Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration Grant we taught 2 five-hour Basic Strategies Awareness classes, 2 Tractor & Machinery Awareness class, 1 Man-v-Machine, and 7 12-hour Tractor and Machinery Emergencies - Operational Level courses (Classroom and Hands-on). In total, 12 classes were conducted with 212 students trained and 1477 hours of training.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and expenses are high relative to revenue.
