About SAFE COMMUNITY PROJECT

The Safe Community Project (operating in Los Angeles under the MySafe:LA unit) is a U.S. 501(c)(3) public benefit charity that develops and delivers fire- and life-safety education, community risk reduction programs, and wildfire preparedness initiatives. Its core programmatic work includes school-based safety education (Junior Fire Marshal), door-to-door home safety canvassing, and the FireSmart:LA program that inspects homes and installs free, sealed 10-year smoke alarms and CO detectors where needed. The organization partners closely with the Los Angeles City Fire Department and other local agencies to deploy outreach teams, train volunteers and first responders, and support at-risk populations (children, seniors, and vulnerable households). The Safe Community Project has maintained active operations and public communications in recent years (program updates and posts through 2024–2026) and continues to file IRS Form 990s, demonstrating ongoing donor-facing activity and program delivery in the Los Angeles area.
