• FORM 990-EZ, PART III, LINE 28, PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS: Wildfire is proud to continue its partnership with the Town of Berthoud, providing arts and cultural programming to the local community. Town funding provides the essential operating income needed to employ our part-time Programs Director and part-time Administrative Director. Through diverse, high-quality, and affordable programming, Wildfire offered 31 classes and workshops this period, reaching a total of 5,547 students and event participants. We continue to serve everyone from children to seniors, providing expert instruction in both the performing and visual arts. This includes our longstanding adult ballet and tap classes, which have welcomed students for over a decade. We have also expanded our dance offerings to include country line dancing, preschool dance, and hula - proudly taught by a native-born Polynesian instructor. Our Programs Director continues to lead two weekly homeschool art classes, serving 18 local students ranging in age from 5 to 14. Additionally, we maintain three weekly after-school art clubs and have added a second section for 8-10-year-olds for the winter semester. Other visual arts courses, such as sewing, needle felting, and watercolor, remain popular across all age groups. Our music department recently introduced toddler and preschool music and movement classes, alongside the continued success of our multi-generational ukulele and hand drumming courses. Finally, we are pleased to announce that two new students are now attending art classes via scholarships, and we remain grateful for the ability to offer free programming art enthusiasts.

Officers and directors · 2025

As listed in Part VII of the 2025 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.
