What it reported doing in 2019

To unite the security officers (full and part-time) and the fire fighters full and part-time) at this location for the better protection of our welfare, to promote our financial, educational and social interests, to maintain, develop, and improve working conditions, to insure the maintenance of a fair rate of wages and to secure ourselves, by unity of actions, such benefits and privileges as are rightfully ours while providing our employer with the highest degree of distinction and recognition which they so justly merit.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 100% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Transfer-based 990-EZ. The 990-EZ reports grants or member benefits, but it does not separate enough spending to show the nonprofit’s full delivery mix.

The verdict

REVIEW - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
