Overview
Mission
Founded in 1901, Middleton Fire Company No. 1 is the official non-profit support organization for the Middleton Fire District.

Member expenses include meals for Meetings and Training events. Also included are team building expenses and Class A uniforms for the members. The membership rolls consist of 86 active members and 42 honorary members.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 66% 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
