Overview
Mission
The Glendale Firefighters safeguard the public and serve the community, raising about $1 million for charity annually through volunteer efforts.
What it reported doing in 2024
The chapter also pays a death benefit to a member who dies while a non-retired member of the fire department. The chapter also pays a monthly stipend to a chaplain for the fire department, for which public funds are not used.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Membership-supported. 71% of the money available for current operations came from membership dues.
- 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 revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and liabilities are high compared with assets.
