About the Foundation
ABOUT THE FOUNDATION
Founded by firefighters.
Sustained by community.
Driven by purpose.
Founded in 2004 by active and retired DC firefighters, the DC Firefighters Burn Foundation is here for burn survivors, their families, and the professionals who care for them — from the moment of injury through every phase of recovery.
Our programs provide practical support, meaningful connection, and opportunities for growth, helping people heal, rebuild, and move forward with strength and purpose.
Every dollar raised supports burn survivor programs, education, and life-changing aftercare.
In the last 20 years, we've contributed over $10 million toward direct support for survivors and the medical teams who care for them—and we’re just getting started.
