Each year brave men and women providing safety and protection will lose their lives in the line of duty. In 2017, line of duty deaths are up 23 percent over the previous year* leaving more families to care for across the U.S. There are over 70,000 state, local, tribal and federal agencies that support public safety and emergency response, made up of over 10 million first responders. First responders are vital to the security of our nation. During emergencies of any kind, these men and women stand ready to serve without hesitation. The mission of The Global Foundation for First Responders is to provide much needed services during their time of need. GFFFR works with local authorities and the families to ensure assistance is provided. Your donations and support help us achieve this mission.
