Overview

Mission

To provide education to the community at large in cardio pulmonary resuscitation (cpr) and the automatic external defibrillators (aed) training. To provide recognition for individuals, business and community support for the programs and efforts of the salem fire department and its personnel, and to recognize outstanding achievement and excellence in service by the department's personnel.

What it reported doing in 2024

We produced a CPR training video and quiz for the Salem-Keizer Schools to use for remote learning. The video provides a way for 8th grade students to fulfill their graduation requirement if they are unable to attend their in-person CPR class. Itis also available on our website to homeschool students, students outside the school district, and adults seeking to learn CPR and AED use.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
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 liabilities are high compared with assets.
