When you have an emergency, you dial 911. But when a Colorado first responder needs help, who’s there for them? That’s where we come in.
Our foundations funds go to any Colorado first responder, or their family member, who may find themselves in need of assistance during a personal crisis. Your support and contributions allow us to meet our goals and help improve the lives of our Colorado first responders and their families.
Here is your chance to give back and help a first responder in need.
Testimonials from past first responder recipients:
“After being diagnosed with cancer, there was a lot going on in my mind from my family, my care, work, and how it was all going to be paid for no the less. After reaching out to the foundation and letting them know about my situation, they were very quick to help me financially to take some of that worry off my plate. I am very grateful and humbled by what this organization did for myself and family during these hard times as well as many others they have helped along the way. This is a long journey for me and they are continuing to help me with financially along the way which is incredible."
– Brian, Engineer, South Metro Fire Rescue
“The foundation helped me through a very difficult time in my life, and eased the burden and help relieve the worry of financial hardship while I was out of work, and gave me the opportunity to continue living my life as fully as possible, I’m beyond grateful for those that run this incredible program.”
– Justin, Ski Patrol/EMT, Arapahoe Basin Ski Area
South Metro Professional Firefighters Foundation provides any Colorado first responder, and their families, with assistance in times of serious illness, injury or loss of life. The Foundation supports individuals, groups, and organizations in their time of need.
SMPFF has grants available to any Colorado first responder who finds themselves in a time of need.
When an emergency happens, first responders don't think twice about what to do; we act as our training has taught us. However, when the trauma, emergency, or death becomes ours or that of our families, we rarely turn for help, thinking we can handle it after all, we are emergency first responders. SMPFF exists to assist with monetary relief allowing the first responder to focus on healing with their families.
