When our neighbors face an emergency, a wildfire risk they can't afford to fix, or a young person needs a hand reaching their goals — the Southern Marin Fire Foundation is there. Funded entirely by community generosity, we work alongside Southern Marin Fire Protection District to turn donations into direct, meaningful help for the people who live here.
Emergency Gift Card Assistance — When our firefighters respond to a serious incident, they're able to offer immediate support at their discretion — no request or application involved.
Jeff Powers Scholarship — Funding and mentorship for local residents pursuing careers in public service.
Youth Activities Sponsorship — Supporting local youth sports, scouting, and community activities.
Vegetation Clearance & Home Hardening — Financial assistance for residents who can't afford wildfire-safety work on their homes.
Community Events — Fundraisers and gatherings that bring Southern Marin together.
Benevolence Fund — Confidential, compassionate financial support for Southern Marin firefighters, retirees, and their families facing cancer or another serious medical hardship.
