National Fallen Firefighters Foundation

A national organization focused on honoring fallen firefighters and supporting their families, with related prevention and training work. This is a different mission emphasis from FFCF’s fire/disaster-victim and volunteer-department programs.

International Association of Fire Fighters Foundation

Supports IAFF members and their families in times of need. It is more firefighter/member-centered than FFCF’s broader fire-victim and community-support mission.

First Responders Children’s Foundation

Focuses on children and families of first responders. It may be relevant when your intended beneficiary is a first-responder family rather than fire victims or departments.
