NATIONAL FIRST RESPONDERS FUND
The National First Responders Fund is a financial resource organization dedicated to supporting first responder mental health and recovery by funding programs, training, and immediate needs related to work‑related Post Traumatic Stress Injuries (PTSI).
About NATIONAL FIRST RESPONDERS FUND
The National First Responders Fund (NFRF) is a San Francisco‑based 501(c)(3) public charity founded in 2017 to provide financial support, training, peer support, and program funding for firefighters, police, EMS, dispatchers and other first responders affected by occupational trauma. The organization’s EIN (82-3266569) and tax‑exempt status were confirmed through the charity’s own filings and publicly available nonprofit records; NFRF publishes its Form 990s on its website and reports annual program activity and fundraising through its events and campaigns. NFRF operates nationally: it runs an annual 9/11 Stair Climb fundraiser, offers multi‑level peer support and resiliency trainings, coordinates local “fund a need” campaigns for agencies, and has supported agency programs (including peer support K9s and department training) across multiple jurisdictions in recent years.
