The LAFD Foundation exists to bridge the budget gap by raising funds to provide our firefighters the the tools, equipment and resources they need to protect homes and save lives.
The Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation (LAFD Foundation) is the non-profit organization that provides funding for the needs of our city’s firefighters. Approximately 97% of the city’s budget for the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) goes towards salaries and benefits. This leaves just 3% to cover the cost of essential equipment, new technology, and training resources needed to keep our firefighters safe, and allowing them to do their jobs effectively.
