Who We’ve Helped So Far

How You Can Help

Every day, Los Angeles’ police, firefighters, and CHP officers, risk their lives to keep our communities safe. Through Responders First, we provide critical in-kind grants to equip our heroes with the tools they need to serve and protect. Your donation, big or small, directly supports life-saving equipment, training, and community programs for LA’s bravest. For example, $50 buys new tools which a majority of stations do not have, while $5,000 funds new exercise equipment and many more essential needs. Join us in supporting them and donate today to make a difference!
