Explore the different ways that you can support Los Angeles firefighters.
Hosting or supporting a fundraiser is a meaningful way to make an immediate difference for your Los Angeles firefighters. You can rally your friends and family to help you fundraise – whether you’re celebrating a personal milestone, a company event, a birthday, or just because you believe in the life-saving work of the LAFD.
Every donation supports the Foundation’s mission to provide tools and equipment and fund programs that help the LAFD save lives and protect communities.

Questions or issues with your campaign? Contact Marisa Martinez, Development Associate, at Marisa@SupportLAFD.org, or give us a call at (310) 552-4139.
Individual fundraisers and financial donations enable the LAFD Foundation to secure equipment, vehicles, and fund vital programs for the Los Angeles Fire Department that would otherwise go unfunded. When the city’s budget leaves only five percent for firefighter tools and technology, generous supporters like you step in.
When you fundraise on behalf of the LAFD Foundation, you are standing with the Foundation in the gap between what the city funds and what firefighters need to keep our communities safe.

A donor-advised fund, which is similar to a charitable savings account, gives you the flexibility to recommend how much and how often money is granted to the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) Foundation and other qualified charities. Consider recommending a grant or recurring grants now to make an immediate impact or use your fund as a tool for future charitable gifts.
