IRS990ScheduleA/FactsAndCircumstancesTestTxt0The Bennett Ridge Fire Safety Organization (BRFSO) is "publicly supported" based on the facts and circumstances set forth below: (1) Percentage of financial support: As shown on Part II Line 14, the BRFSO is 28.6% publicly supported. This significantly exceeds the 10% minimum threshold and approaches the 33 1/3 % presumptive threshold. (2) Sources of support: The BRFSO was founded for the express purpose of obtaining grants to fund community-scale vegetation management to reduce wildfire hazards. The primary source of these grants has been Pacific Gas & Electric, the utility that was determined legally liable for causing the 2017 wildfire that destroyed much of our community. Since its inception in 2019, the publicly supported portion of BRFSO's revenue has come from grants from governmental entities (notably, the County of Sonoma) and relatively small (generally <$500) individual donations from members of our community. Each year, the BRFSO receives between 20 and 30 individual donations from community members. (3) Representative governing body: The BRFSO is governed by a three-member board of directors, all of whom are residents of the community served by the organization. (4) Public facilities, services, programs or policies: The fundamental purpose of the BRFSO is to improve public safety in the community by reducing wildfire hazard. From its inception in 2019, BRFSO has maintained a consistent and well-defined program of community-scale vegetation management to reduce fire hazards. Each year, over 98% of BRFSO expenses go directly to projects that remove flammable vegetation and hazardous trees. The hazard reduction work accomplished by BRFSO further provides a broader public benefit by focusing its projects primarily on hazardous conditions impacting the public roadways within our community. These public roads are the only access route for first responders and the only evacuation route for community members. The work of the BRFSO is financially supported in part by Pacific Gas & Electric, a public utility with specific knowledge of vegetation management programs to reduce fire hazard.
