Arizona Firefighters Fund

The Arizona Firefighters Fund through the Arizona Community Foundation was founded in 2012 solely for the purpose of providing scholarships for the Arizona Fire School. With generous donations from The Kemper and Ethyl Marley Foundation, Arizona Public Serivce (APS), State Forester Jeff Whitney and funding from the Arizona State Legislature we have been able to provide over 1200 rural firefighters the chance to attend Fire School.

Individuals, companies and organizations may make tax-deductible contributions online using the link below, or if you prefer, you may mail a check made payable to ACF, with a notation of FIREAZ in the memo section.
