OUR STORY
To provide charitable assistance rebuilding communities affected by disaster and provide support to first responder organizations.
Mission Statement
To provide charitable assistance rebuilding communities affected by disaster and provide support to first responder organizations.
Background Statement
Every year, millions of people around the world lose their homes to natural disasters and other unforeseen events. At the same time, many of the large insurance agencies are pulling out of high risk environments, leaving homeowners underinsured, with no coverage or lapse in coverage. Many of these homeowners cannot obtain adequate insurance, leaving them with the financial burden of rebuilding their homes on their own; at risk for homelessness. The International Fire Foundation can alleviate the burden on families and the community by guiding them through the entire process.
Impact Statement
Our non-profit organization provides financial assistance, home rebuilding services, upgrade services to existing infrastructure, and professional support to help property owners without adequate coverage to rebuild their communities. We support charities for first responders nationwide, and with our network, we can identify an immediate community need to rally support and healing for affected families.
Needs Statement
We value public support, private investment and community connection; through collaboration and sponsorship we can protect the health and safety of every community. We request 250,000 to affectively serve the OC community as well as introduction to other local NGO, public agencies and private partners within the OCCF program as needed for seamless recovery.
