About
The Trustee For Country Fire Authority & Brigades Donations Fund is the official public fund supporting the Country Fire Authority (CFA) in Victoria, Australia. It collects tax-deductible donations to directly fund equipment, training, facilities, and operational needs for CFA brigades and volunteers across the state.
Giving Philosophy
The fund operates on the principle of channeling 100% of public donations directly to CFA brigades and volunteers. Its theory of change is that by providing essential resources, training, and equipment, it empowers the CFA to protect Victorian communities from fire and other emergencies, thereby enhancing community safety and resilience.
