Explore the different ways that you can support Los Angeles firefighters.

The Friends of LAFD is a community of donors who believe our firefighters should have the tools and safety gear they depend on to save lives. When you join the Friends of LAFD, you become part of the LAFD family and directly empower the Foundation to do everything possible to fulfill LAFD needs that arise year-round. Membership includes a host of insider benefits and unique experiences that bring you closer to the Los Angeles City Fire Department.
Approximately 97% of the city’s budget for LAFD goes toward personnel costs, leaving just 3% to cover the cost of essential equipment, new technology, and training programs. This disparity creates funding shortfalls, from equipment needed for everyday incidents to resources for specialty units (like the Urban Search & Rescue and Air Operations units).
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.
Honor friends, colleagues, and family members in a meaningful way with a memorial or tribute gift. Your gift to the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) Foundation can be used to support a current funding priority, or you can designate it to a specific program. The LAFD Foundation staff will send a personalized letter to the honoree or honoree's family to inform them of your thoughtful gift while keeping the amount confidential (unless otherwise requested).
To learn more about how to designate the donation, and provide the necessary information, please email info@supportLAFD.org
