Mission and programs · 2024
Primary exempt purpose
Support Avondale Firefighter Members
-
During the filing year, our organization successfully advanced several key initiatives in support of our members and the improvement of overall working conditions.
-
We worked collaboratively with department leadership to consistently analyze workplace issues and implement meaningful improvements that benefit both our membership and the organization.
-
In addition, we invested in the professional development of our Executive Board by sending representatives to multiple international and state-level conferences.
-
These educational opportunities enhanced their leadership skills, expanded their understanding of labor-related issues, and strengthened our ability to effectively serve the membership.
-
We initiated formal contract negotiations with the City to begin development of a new Memorandum of Understanding. This represents a significant step toward securing improved wages, benefits, and working conditions for members.
-
These accomplishments reflect our continued commitment to representing our membership with integrity, fostering productive labor-management relationships, and advancing the long-term interests of our Local.

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.

As filed, from the IRS e-Postcard file of 2 November 2026. The IRS publishes only each organization's most recent postcard, so earlier years are not shown. A 990-N carries no financial detail. The postcard also gives the principal officer's address, which is not shown here.
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
No itemized grant names this organization as a recipient. Only grants over $5,000 are itemized, and only by filers of the full Form 990.

Auto-Revocation List
- Exemption revoked 15 February 2011, reinstated 15 March 2016.
Publication 78
Not present in the most recent drop.
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.
