I agree with DaveK(In) there has to be some sort of levied local funding. My department in Baldwin County Al did with little to nothing until a county property tax was levied in 1990-91. I joined in 1992. We still do some fund raising for items that tax money cannot be spent on, but without that tax funding out department would have vanished. Any community cannot raise the money needed through charity. Make sure your organization is registered with the IRS-you have a taxpayer Id#, and you go ahead and get 501C3 recognized. The recognition gives you assurance donations will be recognized by the IRS. At somewhere around 20,000 dollars a year in income you will have to file a 990 report within a certain time period from the end of your fiscal year. If you get a fire act grant, your organization will have to file run reports monthly I believe to the US Fire Administration-thats why I would rather use only local funding. However, contact the local office for the U.S. Department of Agriculture they have rural community loans, and grants available for fire departments. They are good to work with. My department has a loan through them for 4 trucks. Sorry this ran long.
