About us
First Responders Children’s Foundation is the only national 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to supporting the children and families of first responders. We foster resilience and potential through a variety of impact programs, including scholarships, mental health resiliency, financial assistance, bereavement support, emergency hardship relief, natural disaster relief, and community engagement initiatives — as well as marquee events like National First Responders Day and our Thanksgiving Day Parade Viewing & Breakfast. Founded in 2001 in the wake of 9/11, First Responders Children’s Foundation remains more relevant than ever nearly 25 years later. First responder families continue to face enormous challenges stemming from the demanding nature of the profession — from financial insecurity and mental health struggles to the devastating impacts of pandemics, extreme weather events, and wildfires. As first responders continue to answer the call every day, we remain committed to supporting the families who stand beside them.
