Overview
Mission
The specific and primary purpose of the Foundation shall be to provide financial assistance to firefighters and members of the community in preparing for, responding to and recovering from all manner of emergencies, provide financial assistance and support to firefighter families at the time of a firefighter death, to support the development and deployment of public safety behavioral health programs, and to assist in the education of the public on matters of community preparedness as well as make donations to other designated IRS Code section 50l(c)(3) entities with the same or similar purposes. Further, the Foundation shall provide financial aid in the form of scholarships to individuals interested in a career in firefighting and firefighters for career development.
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
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
