Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

Our mission is to provide children with special needs the opportunity for an inclusive Catholic school education within the territory of the Archdiocese of Denver.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Our mission is to provide children with special needs the opportunity for an inclusive Catholic education in a Catholic school they attend within the territory of the Archdiocese of Denver.

  • We continued our fundraising efforts in 2023 in order to make grants to schools for the 2023/2024 school year. During the course of 2023, the Board of the Fire Foundation made grant commitments to 10 schools within the Archdiocese of Denver totaling $328,671. This represents a 247% increase in support over last year. Such commitments were partially paid in 2023 and the remainder of these obligations will be paid during the first half of 2024. Ongoing fundraising efforts in 2023 have provided the Board of the Fire Foundation with additional resources to make new grant commitments to qualifying schools for the 2024/2025 school year during the first four months of 2024. This will allow Catholic schools practicing inclusive education of children with disabilities with much needed resources to expand and enhance their respective educational programs.

    Expenses $342,058 · Grants $328,671

  • The Fire Foundation was able to continue providing grant funding of $20,000 in 2023 to the Office of Catholic Schools of the Archdiocese of Denver in order to partially fund the salary for an important position relating to the mission of Fire, the Director of Student Support Services. This position oversees and assists schools in educating children with significant special needs throughout the Archdiocese of Denver. In addition, Fire provided $3,652 in funding to teachers and other school administrators for professional development needs education.

    Expenses $23,652 · Grants $20,000

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
