The WSCFF Burn Foundation was founded in 1987 and is a 501(c)(3) charity to provide funding for burn research and burn prevention education. The WSCFF Burn Foundation is a separate organization from the WSCFF Benevolent Fund and operates as an independent registered charity. The foundation is operated solely by Washington state professional firefighters.

The Foundation employs only one staff member, thus allowing the vast majority from all fund-raising activities going to grants; 95 percent of that money stays in the state, with the other 5 percent earmarked for the International Association of Fire Fighters Burn Foundation.

Firefighters are very aware of the pain and suffering as well as the physical and emotional scarring that accompany burn injuries. This foundation helps professional fire fighter do everything in their power to help prevent burns before they happen, and lessen the trauma to those who fall victim to this terrible fate.

Funding is primarily raised by sales of an annual fire fighters calendar. Several stores throughout Washington State carry the calendar. If you are unable to locate a store near you, CLICK HERE to get your current Fire Fighters calendar.

Donations from the foundation are then disbursed via grants after approval from the board of trustees. If you need information on WSCFF Burn Foundation grants, please contact us.
