Founded to Close the Critical 5% Funding Gap

Ninety-five percent of the City of Newport News' fire budget is allocated for personnel costs, leaving only five percent to cover vital equipment and tools for the Newport News Fire Department (NNFD).

Addressing that five percent gap means keeping NNFD firefighters safe by purchasing life-saving equipment, ensuring access to robust mental health support, and funding other critical needs that keep them functioning at the highest level.

The Foundation was established with this purpose in 2015. As the official nonprofit arm of the NNFD, we channel corporate and community support into tangible resources that help firefighters protect the people of Newport News.
