How We Work
The Forest Lakes Neighborhood Firewise and Safety Association (FLFSA) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. This formation was necessary in order to receive grants and donations. Our team is comprised of several board members, none of whom receive any payment. We have no employees. We rely on volunteers, donations and grants to fuel our mission.
​
We need to use some of the funds we raise to cover our unavoidable operating expenses such as online services, accounting and insurance.
Our Projects
Thanks to a Cal Fire grant our first major project made our primary neighborhood exit route much safer by creating shaded fuel breaks and removing hazardous trees along Lakeside Drive.
