Our Mission

The Seattle Fire Foundation harnesses the power of private philanthropy to respond to the needs of the Seattle Fire Department—much in the way the department heroically responds to the needs of our communities. Our goal is to raise supplemental funds for safety equipment, public education and other resources that the city budget cannot provide.
