“The Grande Prairie Firefighters Charitable Foundation is a cooperative fundraising body that will benefit the citizens of our community and support other charities with similar goals and objectives”.

• The Grande Prairie Firefighters Charitable Foundation was established in 2007 by the Grande Prairie Firefighters Association.
• Our members have long been active in the community working for numerous charitable causes. We felt the need to organize these efforts to maximize the positive results our volunteer work has within the community.
• The foundation will continue to work in partnership with organizations that have had long-standing relationships with our firefighters, as well, we are looking to forge new partnerships and explore new ways to try to benefit our community and region.
• Grande Prairie Firefighters are excited about how well the Foundation has been received by the community. In our jobs, we work hard to protect the life and property of the citizens in our region. Creating this Foundation is the most effective way to extend that same care outside of the emergency setting.
• Since our inception in 2007 we have raised over $100,000 for our foundation and have donated that money to various needs and organizations in our region.
• Some of the organizations that have benefited from our Foundation are:
  • Canadian Cancer Society
  • Coats for Kids
  • Friends feeding Friends
  • Grande Prairie and District Burn Society
  • Grande Prairie Firefighters Charitable Foundation - Swanavon School Lunch Program
  • Grande Prairie Food Bank
  • Kev’s Kids
  • Muscular Dystrophy
  • Numerous Local Needs
