Overview

Mission

Provide training and assistance to fire service personnel.

What it reported doing in 2025

Ofma sponsored their two annual events, the technical education conference with 71 attendees, and the annual business meeting with 100 attendees. In addition to these two events, ofma began a monthly free-to-members 1-hour long virtual session offering icc credit to attendees, collaborating with osfm to provide unique training opportunities over the lunch hour. Ofma hosted 5 of these "lunch & learns" in the fiscal year, hosting between 60- 100 attendees each session, and plans to continue each month as often as possible. Ofma board members sat on several industry committees covering code, wildfire, mobile food unit, and fire service health and safety.

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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
