What Safety Forces Support Center does
Mission
The mission of the Safety Forces Support Center is to incorporate its specialized understanding of, and experience in, the safety professions to provide confidential emotional, mental health and substance abuse counseling, and spiritual and material assistance, free of cost to law enforcement and fire safety personnel, ems, dispatchers and their families. To fulfill this mission sfsc offers core services including counseling, support, education, law enforcement/safety forces advocacy, and emergency support during traumatic incidents.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Counseling & crisis intervention - law enforcement, fire personnel, ems and communications professionals experience intense, unique job stressors, which impact their physical, mental, and emotional health and which require specialized support. These well-documented, ongoing stressors result in a high level of divorce, alcoholism, depression, anxiety, ptsd and suicide. In 2024 the Safety Forces Support Center (sfsc) provided free critical incident stress debriefing to 90 individuals in 15 interventions for events such as fire fatalities, police use of force, child death, officer suicide, etc. They also provided 879 confidential mental health counseling hours to 106 active/retired safety forces personnel.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 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 2019 to 2020, from $97k to $225k (+132%).
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.
53% of SAFETY FORCES SUPPORT CENTER’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (84% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 6 reported years ran a deficit.

The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2019 → 2023: the base broadened from 4 funders to 15 funders, grant income rose $57k → $64k.
2 of 20 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 26% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

How concentrated its funding is
SAFETY FORCES SUPPORT CENTER has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 25% of grant income, and it takes 4 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 4 funders to its left
38% 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 SAFETY FORCES SUPPORT CENTER.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2019 81% · 2020 28% · 2021 51% · 2022 46% · 2023 28% — diversifying over time.
“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.
How long its funders stay
80% of SAFETY FORCES SUPPORT CENTER's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 70% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
100% of SAFETY FORCES SUPPORT CENTER's grant income comes from Ohio funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $119k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 states 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.
