Overview

Mission

To assist in fire, vehicle, natural disaster and medical emergencies.

What it reported doing in 2025

Fundraising, contributions and monies received from donors. All monies received are used for training of volunteers, supplies and equipment purchases. Equipment is donated to Menard County Rescue Squad District.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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

MIXED - Most voting board members are independent and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
