Almost daily a First Responder is seriously injured or killed in the line of duty. The funds raised through donations goes to help those First Responders and their families. All money raised by the AZFHMR stays in Arizona to help those who need it most.
How is your donation utilized? We are staffed by volunteers and have NO paid employees. Daily, we work out of our homes and have no facility expenses. Our monthly meeting locations are donated and our office expenses averages less than one half of one percent of our income. This allows us to allocate more money to our programs and donate 100% of our designated program money to help those in need. *
*With having no paid employees, only a portion of the money raised is utilized to fund our next First Responder memorial events.
