Mission

TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF BURN SURVIVORS AND THEIR FAMILIES WHILE PROMOTING BURN PREVENTION, ADVOCACY, AND EDUCATION.

  • CLIENT CARE SERVICES: AN INTEGRATED SYSTEM OF CARE FOR BURN SURVIVORS AND THEIR FAMILIES TO PROVIDE COMPREHENSIVE SERVICES OVER TIME AT ALL STAGES OF THEIR JOURNEY - CRISIS, RECOVERY AND THRIVE. SEE PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONS BELOW: CRISIS CARE: IN CRISIS CARE THE FOUNDATION PROVIDES FAMILIES OF BURN PATIENTS THE EMOTIONAL AND FINANCIAL SUPPORT NEEDED IN THE MIDST OF THEIR CRISIS. WHEN A PATIENT IS ADMITTED TO A BURN FACILITY, ONE OF THE FOUNDATION'S STAFF MEMBERS CAN BE THERE TO OFFER SUPPORT TO THE FAMILY. THE FOUNDATION OFFERS LODGING, TRANSPORTATION SERVICES AND MEAL VOUCHERS THAT ARE FREE OF CHARGE TO THE FAMILIES. THESE SERVICES HELP ALLEVIATE STRESS AND OFFER MUCH NEEDED HOPE IN THOSE EARLY STAGES OF THE CRISIS. RECOVERY CARE: RECOVERY CARE BEGINS ONCE A BURN SURVIVOR IS DISCHARGED FROM THE BURN FACILITY. ARIZONA BURN FOUNDATION ASSESSES THE NEEDS OF THE BURN SURVIVOR AND THEIR FAMILY AND CREATES A CARE PLAN APPROPRIATE FOR THEM. THE FOUNDATION MAY PROVIDE DURABLE MEDICAL EQUIPMENT, PRESCRIPTION PAYMENT, LODGING FOR RETURN CLINIC VISITS OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE WITH RENT, UTILITIES OR FOOD IF THIS NEED IS NOT MET BY OTHER MEANS. FOR LONG-TERM NEEDS, THE FOUNDATION WILL REFER CLIENTS TO OTHER AGENCIES, HELPING A FAMILY THROUGH THE PROCESS OF COMPLETING PAPERWORK AND REQUIREMENTS FOR THOSE AGENCIES. THRIVE: YOUTH AND FAMILY SUPPORT: THE GOAL OF ARIZONA BURN FOUNDATION IS TO HELP PROVIDE THE EMOTIONAL SUPPORT NEEDED FOR A BURN SURVIVOR AND THEIR FAMILY TO THRIVE. IN THIS STAGE OF THE CONTINUUM OF CARE MODEL THE FOUNDATION OFFERS SOCIAL GATHERINGS WHERE ORGANIC PEER-TO- PEER SUPPORT CAN TAKE PLACE. A BURN INJURY AFFECTS THE ENTIRE FAMILY, SO WHILE CAMPS OFFER PEER-TO-PEER SUPPORT FOR BURN SURVIVORS, THESE SOCIAL GATHERINGS CREATE OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY TO CONNECT WITH OTHER FAMILIES WHO HAVE GONE THROUGH SIMILAR EXPERIENCES. THE FOUNDATION ALSO PROVIDES FUNDING TO BURN SURVIVORS TO ATTEND BURN CONFERENCES SUCH AS WORLD BURN CONGRESS AND ANGEL FACES.

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. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. 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. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

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.

Grants received

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
