First Responders Foundation

The Mountain Brook First Responders Foundation will benefit those that put their lives and their families' quality of life on the line every day.  We are blessed to have city government and community leaders come together and see this through.  There have been many discussions and intentions of getting a foundation set for several years.  Through the intentional and unselfish determination of many people, the foundation has been established.  It will be a source of assistance and support for our first responders in the time of need.  We are fortunate to have some of the best business and financial minds serving on the board, which gives the foundation the best possibility of being successful. 

The foundation will be able to assist first responders and their families in the event of injury, illness, death or personal disasters such as fire or weather related damage to their homes.  There have been several instances where this type of assistance has been needed in the past.  Police and fire have had personnel  injured at home and off of work where workman's compensation doesn't take effect.  We have also had personnel suffer damage to their homes due to flooding and fire.  The foundation could have been used to assist these officers financially with immediate needed funds while waiting for insurance coverage to take effect.  

Other potential areas where the foundation can support Mountain Brook First Responders is through scholarship opportunities for children of police and fire personnel.  The foundation may also assist with community events or programs that would further and strengthen the relationship with our residents and business community.

Foundations such as the Mountain Brook First Responders Foundation have had success and shown to be a valuable resource in neighboring cities.  We look forward to seeing the foundation fully implemented and seeing the impact it has on our first responders and their families in case of need.  Our hope is that these funds are never needed for those purposes, but it is gratifying to know that the foundation is there if needed.
