What Reno Volunteer Fire Department does
Mission
Emergency and fire services
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
Reno Volunteer Fire Department provides fire protection to households and businesses in marietta township along with providing emergency rescue services. Volunteers are trained and provided with equipment to carry out this service to the community. In 1998 a new fire levy was passed that provides funds for an outside agency to provide quick emergency response during the day. The levy money was used for this purpose. In 2009 a billing system was implemented to bill insurance providers for emergency medical runs made. In 2013, the full time ems service was implemented and managed by Reno Volunteer Fire Department.

The program described on its FY2024 Form 990. Program spending in total: $737,422.
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 2021 to 2022, from $1.3M to $1.0M (−17%).
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 3% · 2018 5% · 2019 59% · 2020 15% · 2021 71% · 2022 62% · 2023 74% · 2024 65%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
65% of RENO VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (75% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
59% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund RENO VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2019 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% — broadly stable.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
59% of RENO VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $7k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from Ohio funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $10k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
