Overview

Mission

Utica Volunteer Fire and Ambulance Department is a non for profit organization that raises money to be spent on fire safety awareness, fire safety education for the local firefighters and EMTs, and assistance in purchassing fire safety equipment for the local community. Funds raised also help support the everyday activity of the Volunteer Department such as obtaining uniforms and paying for software used when responding to fire and EMT calls.

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 92% 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 - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
