The Castle Rock Taproom

When you call 911, someone shows up for you.

‍
But when first responders face their own emergencies, who shows up for them?

The South Metro Professional Firefighters Foundation exists to ensure that firefighters, EMS professionals, law enforcement officers, and their families are never alone in moments of crisis. Through financial assistance, we provide meaningful support when it matters most.

Your generosity helps protect the people who protect us.

Need Assistance?

If you are a Colorado first responder or member of a first responder family facing unexpected hardship, the South Metro Professional Firefighters Foundation may be able to help.

We understand that the challenges first responders face are often sudden, overwhelming, and deeply personal. Whether you’re dealing with a line-of-duty injury, personal loss, serious medical emergency, or mental health crisis, you don’t have to navigate it alone.

All applications are handled confidentially. Our priority is to respond with compassion, urgency, and fairness — providing meaningful support when it matters most.

If you or someone you know may benefit from assistance, we encourage you to apply on our website.
