IAFF CHARITABLE FOUNDATION

Fighting fires and saving lives
is plenty hard.

So is digging through rubble left after a tornado or other natural disaster looking for survivors … rescuing people from raging flood waters … protecting lives and property from massive wildfires … responding to earthquakes across the globe … racing to the scene of a terrorist attack or mass casualty incident – knowing all the while your own families could be in danger.

Every day, professional fire fighters and paramedics risk their lives to help others, always putting the public’s needs before their own.




Now you can help.

Your donation to the IAFF Charitable Foundation will help these selfless men and women when they need it most.

The IAFF Foundation’s mission is to support IAFF members and their families in their time of need, promote fire and burn prevention, advocate for fire fighter health and safety and provide public education on how to prevent and recover from traumatic events.

• When disaster strikes, the IAFF Foundation provides financial and other assistance to IAFF members who suffer hardship following a federally declared emergency.

• When an IAFF member is killed in the line of duty, the IAFF Foundation provides support and assistance for the families and offers funding for children of the fallen to pursue post-secondary education.

• When the health and safety of IAFF members is at stake, the IAFF Foundation directs resources to ensure fire fighters and paramedics have the tools and education necessary to do the job.

• When fire fighters suffer burns, the IAFF Foundation works to improve the quality of life for these and the more than 500,000 burn survivors across North America whose lives are changed each year.
