Ninety-seven percent of the City of Los Angeles fire budget is allocated for personnel costs, leaving only three percent to cover vital equipment and tools for the Los Angeles City Fire Department (LAFD).
Addressing that three percent gap means keeping LAFD firefighters safe by purchasing life-saving equipment, ensuring access to robust mental health support, and funding other critical needs that keep them functioning at the highest level.
The Foundation was established with this purpose in 2010. As the official nonprofit arm of the LAFD, we channel corporate and community support into tangible resources that help firefighters protect the people of Los Angeles.
Providing long-term emotional and mental health support to LAFD members for incident-based trauma.
Funding training, medical care, insurance, food, and more for the canine members of the LAFD's PEER Support Team.
The LAFD Foundation supports the LAFD in protecting life, property, and the environment by providing essential equipment and funding programs to supplement city resources.
