Fuel the Mission

Strengthening Our Community Together

Vancouver firefighters are committed to securing the funds needed to ensure our programs have a lasting impact in the community. From organizing fundraising initiatives to donating a portion of our paycheques, we know it takes a team effort to keep these programs strong.

We are also fortunate to live in a community filled with people and organizations willing to use their networks and resources to strengthen our mission. When this network is engaged, it becomes a powerful force multiplier, propelling our programs forward and expanding our reach.

Whether it’s hosting a fundraiser, partnering with us, or considering long-term options like legacy giving, there are many meaningful ways to get involved and fuel our mission.

Ways To Fuel the Mission

Donate

One of the most effective ways to support the VFC is through a direct donation. Our programs depend on community generosity to reach as many people in need as possible. In addition to running our own initiatives, we also support organizations close to our hearts, such as the BC Professional Firefighters Burn Fund, BC Cancer, the ALS Society of BC, and other causes that advance our mission. As a registered charity, all donations receive an official tax receipt.

We are deeply grateful for every donation we receive. Because we are largely volunteer-run and operate with efficiency in mind, roughly 90% of every dollar donated goes directly back into the community through our programs, ensuring your donation has maximum impact.

If you have any questions about making a donation or want to connect with someone on our team before making a donation please click the link below.

    Host a Toy Drive
