Our Mission

Support and protect the health, safety and welfare of Houston firefighters and their families, and the communities we serve.

About the Foundation

Houston firefighters deliver excellent service, are good stewards of city resources, and give back to the community. But firefighters and their families sometimes need a helping hand too. The Foundation is dedicated to helping firefighters and their families and others in the community in their times of need.

Our Structure

Founded in 2013, our Foundation is managed by a board of directors that includes Houston firefighters and civilians. Our bylaws mandate that directors of the Houston Professional Fire Fighters Association always constitute the majority of the foundation board of directors. The Foundation also relies on an advisory board that includes local business and community leaders each of which has provided important support to the Foundation.

• Financial relief for firefighters facing extraordinary medical expenses.
