Australian Professional Firefighters Foundation Incorporated

Board Interlocks (3 shared directors)

Giving Philosophy

The APFF approaches giving by providing direct assistance, including financial support and in-kind donations, to individuals and families affected by fire and road trauma. They are committed to long-term support for the Women's and Children's Hospital, specifically its burns unit, through donations of equipment and other necessities. The foundation actively engages in community events for fundraising and fire prevention education, embodying their motto, "OUR FAMILY HELPING YOURS." Their model, which originated in Canada, also includes peer-to-peer support for their firefighter members.

Tips for Applicants

Prospective applicants should align with the foundation's core mission of assisting fire and road trauma victims (especially children), supporting the Women's and Children's Hospital Newland Ward, and promoting firefighter welfare. As they do not appear to have formal open grant programs, direct contact via their administrative email (admin@apff.org.au) or website may be the most appropriate approach for inquiries.

Notable Grants

• Donations of books, electronic equipment, game consoles, hospital equipment, beds, games, and furniture to the Newland Ward at the Women's and Children's Hospital.
• Financial assistance and other support to families around Adelaide affected by fire.
