Overview

Mission

To promote the education and career development for the nation's fire and ems personnel by providing scholarships and educational stipends to individuals active in the fire and ems service in their pursuit of higher education, credentialing or other areas as the board sees fit.

What it reported doing in 2025

The organization's primary purpose is to provide scholarships to active members of the fire and emergency services in the u.s. Who are pursuing continuing education to advance their leadership skills and careers. The foundation awards 100-125 scholarships annually. No scholarships were awarded in 2024, as the foundation was working on retroactive restoration of its tax exempt status, which the IRS reinstated in may 2025.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Grant intermediary. The nonprofit sent 94% of its reported program spending out as grants.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
