California Firefighters Benevolent Fund

Apply
Description
The California Fire Foundation is honored to provide a benevolent benefit for not only those firefighters impacted by fire or natural disaster but for those injured or killed in the line of duty.
Requirements
  • LOSS OR DAMAGE TO PERSONAL RESIDENCE: Support to firefighters displaced from their home due to fire, natural disaster or manmade disaster - $1,000
  • LINE OF DUTY INJURY: This benefit is for active firefighter line of duty injuries that are directly related to delivering emergency services (to include training injuries) and not intended for long-term cumulative workers compensation injuries or illnesses that manifest themselves over time. Emergency room admittance is required - $1,000 (48 hours to 6 days hospitalization). For each additional 7 days of hospitalization an additional $500 per week up to a maximum of $5,000.
  • LINE OF DUTY DEATH: This benefit is designed for line of duty deaths (as determined by the employing agency), that occur directly related to providing emergency services or training. The criteria used for placement on the California Firefighters Memorial Wall is the primary determining factor for this benefit - $5,000
  • OTHER LINE OF DUTY ILLNESS/INJURY: At the recommendation of the Executive Director and approval of the Benevolent Fund Advisory Committee, a grant may be awarded to assist firefighters with job related behavioral health issues that require in-house care or hospitalization. Such grants are limited to no more than $7,500 and will be reported to the Board of Directors consistent with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Regulations.
