Mission

TO PROVIDE EDUCATION, RESPONSE, AND RECOVERY TO COMMUNITIES DURING TIMES OF NATURAL AND MAN-MADE DISASTERS, UTILIZING VETERAN AND CIVILIAN PERSONNEL. THE ORGANIZATION WILL TRAIN THOSE WHO SEEK CAREERS IN EMERGENCY SERVICES WITH AN EMPHASIS ON SUPPORTING THE ONGOING NEEDS OF OUR VETERANS.

Each tax year counts once: when a return was amended, only the latest return for that period is used below (superseded returns stay listed, greyed, under Finances).

No independent contractors reported.

Who gave

Contributor names are not public for this form type.

Public charities filing Form 990 or 990-EZ report large donors on Schedule B, but the IRS withholds their names and addresses from public copies. Private foundations (990-PF) are different: their contributors are public.

Finances

Newest first. Each filing: its name on one row, its figures on the row beneath. Greyed filings are superseded by a later return for the same period and are left out everywhere else on this page.

Where the money went

Every expense line on each return, biggest first: Form 990 Part IX (with its program, management and fundraising columns), 990-EZ Part I, or 990-PF Part I. Event marks lines the organization itself describes as events. “Events” in each summary adds those lines, conferences and meetings, and the direct costs of fundraising events. Unusual is not the same as improper. Many of these patterns have ordinary explanations. Check the filing.
