INSPIRED BY SACRIFICE · POWERED BY YOU

DONATING TO THE 34.3 FOUNDATION DIRECTLY SUPPORTS THE FAMILIES OF FALLEN FDNY FIREFIGHTERS AND THEIR FIREHOUSES, WHILE PRESERVING THE LEGACY OF THE 343 HEROES WHO PERISHED ON SEPTEMBER 11TH, 2001.

WHAT YOUR DONATION SUPPORTS

• Active Member Crisis Fund: Provides urgent financial assistance to firehouses and families of active FDNY members who tragically lose their lives, whether in the line of duty or off duty. This fund helps ease the immediate financial strain during times of profound loss.  

• Memorial Initiatives: Funds events like our annual 34.3-mile memorial run from Long Beach, NY to Ground Zero, each mile representing one of the 343 fallen firefighters. This run transforms memories into miles, ensuring their heroism is never forgotten.  

HOW THE 34.3 FOUNDATION’S ACTIVE DUTY MEMBER CRISIS FUND SUPPORTS FDNY FIREHOUSES AND FAMILIES

OUR CRISIS FUND PROVIDES DIRECT, RAPID-RESPONSE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO FDNY FIREFIGHTERS, FIREHOUSES AND THEIR FAMILIES DURING TIMES OF URGENT NEED. THIS INCLUDES:

• HELPING TO COVER UNEXPECTED MEDICAL COSTS OR FUNERAL EXPENSES.

• PROVIDING FINANCIAL RELIEF DURING RECOVERY FROM JOB RELATED INJURIES.

• SUPPORTING FAMILIES FACING HOUSING INSTABILITY OR HARDSHIP AFTER CRISIS.

• OFFERING AID TO FIREHOUSES IMPACTED BY THE LOSS OF A MEMBER ON OR OFF DUTY.

• HELP BRIDGE THE GAP WHILE OTHER BENEFITS OR SUPPORT SYSTEMS ARE BEING PROCESSED.

WE UNDERSTAND THAT FIREFIGHTERS NEVER HESITATE TO RUN TOWARDS DANGER — AND WE’RE COMMITTED TO BEING THERE FOR THEM AND THIER FAMILIES WHEN THEY NEED IT MOST.

YOUR DONATION HELPS ENSURE THAT NO IMPACTED FIREHOUSE OR FAMILY FACES HARDSHIP ALONE.
