About Us
Launched in January 2024, FAST Cares Charitable Fund is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting firefighters, law enforcement officers, EMS professionals, rescue teams, and public safety organizations across the United States.
Our mission is to strengthen emergency response by providing life-saving rescue equipment, specialized training, safety resources, and critical funding to volunteer departments, underfunded first responder agencies, and public safety organizations serving communities in need.
Through equipment donations, hands-on training opportunities, and ongoing support, FAST Cares helps ensure first responders have the tools, education, and resources needed to respond to structure fires, vehicle extrications, medical emergencies, natural disasters, and other critical incidents safely and effectively.
By investing in the men and women who protect our communities every day, we are helping build stronger emergency response systems, safer first responders, and more resilient communities nationwide.
Our Mission
The mission of FAST Cares Charitable Fund is better to prepare and equip those who answer the call to service.
Our Vision
By 2026, FAST Cares Charitable Fund will be a nationally recognized organization that serves as a critical resource for first responders in underfunded, rural, and volunteer agencies across the United States. We will achieve this by providing access to life-saving equipment, specialized training, continuing education opportunities, and essential resources that help departments improve readiness, enhance safety, and better protect the communities they serve.
Through strategic partnerships, charitable giving, and a commitment to supporting those who answer the call, FAST Cares will help ensure that every first responder—regardless of department size or budget—has the tools and support needed to perform their mission effectively and safely.
Every second matters when lives are on the line, and the right equipment, training, and support can make all the difference.
