What Cheatham County Firefighters Association does
Mission
This organization helps provide funding for training, equipment purchases, and other needs of volunteer and municipal fire departments in Cheatham County, Tennessee.
As stated on its FY2022 Form 990.
Program
The reallocation of grants from Cheatham County, TN government to 3 public volunteer and 4 non-profit fire protection and emergency service organizations.
The first program described on its most recent Form 990, which lists programs largest first by expense.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2017 to 2018, from $62k to $161k (+161%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2017 100% · 2018 95% · 2019 100% · 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 100%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of Cheatham County Firefighters Association’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (86% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 6 reported years ran a deficit.
