The mission of the Fire Family Foundation is to provide support and financial assistance to firefighters and their families in times of need. We fulfill our mission through four core programs: • Providing financial assistance grants to firefighters and their families • Awarding college scholarships • Providing disaster relief • Granting funds to fire charities The Fire Family Foundation is the charitable arm of the Firefighters First Credit Union; therefore, the Credit Union supports the foundation’s overhead costs, so 100% of donations to the Foundation go directly to support the mission. Our history After September 11, 2001, when over 340 New York City firefighters were lost in the World Trade Center attack, Firefighters First Credit Union was entrusted with charitable donations made by members of the fire service and the community. The incredible response resulted in the vision to establish a nonprofit Foundation focused on serving the firefighting community. The Fire Family Foundation was established in 2008. Fire Family Foundation offices are located at 815 Colorado Blvd, Los Angeles, California, and support career and volunteer firefighters throughout the United States.
