Fireman’s Fund® Offers Grants to Fire Departments through Heritage Program®

Published Date: 02.13.2012

Fireman’s Fund Insurance Company annually awards millions of dollars in grants to fire departments and fire and burn prevention organizations to support firefighters for safer communities. Grants can be used to purchase needed equipment, firefighter training, and community education programs. To date, over $29 million in grants have been awarded.

To apply, departments fill out an online survey, which can be found at www.firemansfund.com/heritage and www.facebook.com/SupportingFirefighters. This information is shared with employees and independent agents interested in nominating a fire department for a grant. Surveys remain active indefinitely, so there is no need to resubmit your information once you have completed the survey. For more information on the grant process, click here. You can also view a list of departments and organizations that have previously received a grant.

In addition, Fireman’s Fund supports national programs designed to improve firefighter safety and reduce firefighter accidents. The National Volunteer Fire Council’s Heart-Healthy Firefighter Program has received $175,000 from the Fireman’s Fund to support the heart attack prevention campaign.

About Fireman’s Fund
Fireman’s Fund Insurance Company was founded in 1863 with a mission to donate a portion of its profits to support the fire service. We continue that tradition today through our Heritage Program® by awarding grants to fire service organizations for needed equipment, firefighter training, and communication education programs. Funding is allocated in partnership with our employees and independent insurance agents, who assist in the direction of the grants.
