Where your gift goes
Firefighter Cancer Support. Carrying a firefighter's family through the stretch between a diagnosis and the point benefits catch up.
Future Leaders Scholarship. College, trade school, and certification costs for the children of Stamford firefighters.
Community Recovery. Help for families across our region, support for neighboring departments after a tragedy, and contributions to relief efforts when they're needed.
Line of Duty Family Fund. Immediate support for the family of a firefighter who does not come home.
Gifts go to the Foundation, and the board directs them to whichever fund needs them most at the time. We're closest to the need, so we do the allocating.
We're building all four as endowed capital, so they distribute year after year instead of being raised and spent in the same twelve months. Gifts made now help form that base.
