Every year, the Foundation puts resources directly into the hands of Florida fire departments.
The Florida State Firefighters' Education Foundation awards grants to Florida fire departments each year. Grants are announced and presented at the Florida State Firefighters' Association Annual Conference, traditionally held each June.
Grant funding may be used for any purpose that strengthens a department's ability to serve its community, including:
Donations are channeled through the Foundation's grant program to fire departments and educational efforts across all 67 counties of Florida.
Helping firefighters and EMTs access the training, certifications, and continuing education they need.
Funding life-saving equipment for fire departments — especially smaller and volunteer departments.
Supporting prevention and safety education programs that protect Florida's citizens and homes.
Investing in the general welfare and safety of the firefighters who answer Florida's call every day.
Grants are awarded on an annual basis to Florida fire departments. The Foundation works closely with the Florida State Firefighters' Association to identify needs and to ensure grant funds are directed where they will do the most good. Final awards are presented each year at the Annual Conference.
Florida fire departments interested in the grant program are encouraged to contact the Foundation directly. We're happy to share current eligibility requirements, application timing, and additional details.
Every donation feeds directly into next year's grant pool — helping more Florida departments get the resources they need.
