Overview

Mission

The National First Responders Fund is a financial resource organization dedicated to First Responder programs and training to address awareness and recovery from work-related Post Traumatic Stress Injuries (PTSI). The NFRF is a bridge between private donors and the financial needs of First Responders relating to the Post Traumatic Stress Injuries they sustain on the job.

What it reported doing in 2024

The NFRF has an annual fundraising event on or about the weekend of 9/11. The event is a stair climb raising money for the foundation and its mission. Details can be found at NFRF.org We also receive donations throughout the year to promote the mission of the organization from various sources. The organization has used part of its funds to pay for programs that first responders with PTSD attend, to train first responders in PTSD awareness and treatment, to raise awareness of PTSD, suicides and addictions among first responders, and produce the San Francisco First Responders Stair Climb.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
