MINNESOTA FIREFIGHTERS NEED YOUR HELP

"Without the help of MnFIRE, I believe I would not be here today. Words can never express the gratitude I have for helping me regain my life and understanding I am OK and will only get better.” 
– Minnesota Firefighter

Minnesota firefighters show up for us. Now it’s our turn. Donate to MnFIRE to help provide lifesaving health and wellness support to Minnesota’s 20,000 firefighters.

Did you know that more than 90% of firefighters in Minnesota are volunteer or non-career? Despite the extensive physical and mental health risks they face, many Minnesota firefighters don’t have access to health and wellness benefits through their department. Since 2016, MnFIRE has helped fill that gap by providing critical illness benefits, mental health resources, and health and wellness trainings at no cost to firefighters and their departments. 

Help MnFIRE celebrate a decade of protecting firefighter health & well-being in Minnesota!

Your donation to MnFIRE supports crucial services such as additional counseling sessions for firefighters, ongoing research into the unique health challenges firefighters face, and extended health and wellness benefits for firefighters when they leave or retire from the fire service.

We all rely on firefighters to be there for us when we need help. Show up for them today and give now!

You can trust your gift will make a difference for firefighters statewide! MnFIRE holds a Platinum Seal of Transparency for nonprofit excellence from Candid, demonstrating our commitment to delivering our mission effectively and efficiently, maximizing every dollar to create measurable and lasting impact. Thank you for your support!

"By prioritizing firefighter health and safety, we honor their dedication and strengthen our ability to protect and serve.”
