Overview

Mission

The penngrove social firemen provide a park for public use, a clubhouse for community and nonprofit use, and philanthropy to needy nonprofit organizations.

What it reported doing in 2025

A clubhouse and a park, purchased in 1951, are maintained for activities in this unincorporated community. Qualified nonprofit organizations, like 4h and scouts are allowed to use the facilities for no charge. Other users pay a nominal fee, small profits from which are spent for philanthropic purposes.

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 99% 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. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
