Overview

Mission

The purpose of the galvez-lake volunteer fire department organization is to serve the public in emergency situations. This consists primarily of fighting fires, but also includes ems calls, rescue calls, and back up calls to other fire departments.

What it reported doing in 2024

During 2024, the volunteer fire department participated in 1,381 fire and ems related calls.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
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. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and liabilities are high compared with assets.
