Overview
Mission
The Kevin Woyjeck Explorers for Life Association is a non-profit association started by his parents, family, and friends as a way to honor Kevin and carry on his legacy. Our purpose is to assist young men and women in the Fire Explorer Programs with financial support and material donations.
What it reported doing in 2025
In 2025, The Kevin Woyjeck Explorer's for Life Association continued to support young explorers in their pursuit of careers in First Responder fields.We donated over $30,900 to fire explorer programs struggling to get started or continue operating.We also donated safety equipment such as helmets in excess of $8,000 to several programs to assist in training and safety precautions.We also paid over $3,200 in full or partial tuitions for students to attend EMT or Paramedic school. We hope to do more of this in this future with other underserved students. We donated over $12,900 in learning materials and uniforms to several programs.Finally, we donated over $10,000 in general assistance to explorers in financial need.We hope to continue this trend well into the future.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 85% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- 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 - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
