What Windber Fire Company No 1 does
Mission
The Windber Fire Company provides fire protection to Windber Borough and surrounding communities
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
On its FY2025 return the organization reported a significant change in how it conducts a program.
The Windber Fire Company agreed to merge into the Scalp Level and Paint Borough Fire Company in January, 2025. The merger closed on April 10, 2026. During 2025 the two companies began operating jointly with the Scalp Level and Paint Borough Fire Company assuming operational responsibilities. The Scalp Level and Paint Borough Fire Company acquired all the assets of the Windber Fire Company, and Windber Fire Company satisfied all its outstanding debt during 2025
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 3).

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 2024 to 2025, from $707k to $137k (−81%).
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 2% · 2018 2% · 2019 2% · 2020 22% · 2021 26% · 2022 25% · 2023 24% · 2024 21% · 2025 750%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2021: the base held at 1 funder, grant income fell $12k → $0.
1 of 2 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of WINDBER FIRE COMPANY NO 1’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 1 of 2 funders by total. Association, not causation. 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
100% of WINDBER FIRE COMPANY NO 1'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. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $12k 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.
