What Michael Ness Memorial Foundation Corp does
Mission
The Michael Ness Memorial Foundation was founded in memory of Michael Ness who succumbed to his injuries sustained in a house fire. The purpose of the Foundation is to raise funds through local events to benefit local youth via scholarships, to help educate local youth on fire safety and to benefit the Connecticut Burn Center where Michael was treated.
As stated on its FY2021 Form 990-EZ.
Program
Accomplishments include small, relatively successful fundraisers during pandemic. Normally would have several events per year, but Covid eliminated that option in 2020 and most of 2021
The first program described on its most recent Form 990-EZ.

Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $20k to $19k (−6%).
