Financial Responsibility

Transparency & Accountability

Responders First is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit. We believe every donor deserves to see exactly how the organization is governed and how its funds are used, and we are committed to making that information openly available. Our audited financial statements and federal filings will be published here as they are finalized.

Audited financial statements — coming soon
