Overview
Mission
The international association of fire fighters (iaff) is a labor union representing paid full-time firefighters and emergency medical services personnel in the united states and canada. The goal is to better our profession, promote a safer working environment, create reasonable working conditions and secure just compensation.

The objectives of this local shall be the fostering and encouragement of a higher degree of skill and efficiency in the fire service, the cultivation of friendship and fellowship among its members; also the maintenance of proper remuneration for duty performed and the elevation and improvement of the moral, intellectual, social, economic, health, and safety conditions of its members.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Membership-supported. 100% 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 reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
