Not all heroes make it home... That tragedy rings true as an average of 21 families watch their First Responder loved one walk out the door, only to never return. The impact of a line-of-duty death (LODD) goes far beyond the badge. Not only does a community & agency lose a servant leader... a spouse loses their warrior / best friend, a child loses their hero, and a family experiences a loss of income. While we can't always prevent LODDs, we can help reduce the financial burden it creates for families in our country by being a direct source of financial support. All of this is made possible by the generosity of our donors and our 100% Giving Model – where every single public dollar donated goes to these families.

A bright light in a dark place for the families of fallen First Responders.
About us
The Hard Truth... Each month, an average of 21 First Responders sacrifice all in the line of duty. This leads to a double tragedy as their families are often plunged into financial and emotional hardship, with many relying on bake sales and fundraisers—only to barely keep their heads above water. We’re grateful for the bake sales, but they fall short of the true immediate needs of the families of fallen First Responders. FRBA was created to end the tragedy behind the tragedy. The Bright Light... When a First Responder tragically perishes in the line of duty, FRBA steps in to provide hope-giving financial support to their family. Through your generosity, we’re able to distribute vital funds to their most pressing basic needs. This means a spouse can focus on grieving the loss of their loved one, without the burden of wondering how their bills will get paid, how their kids will be fed, or how their lights will stay on, during the darkest hour. 100% Giving Model... Our founder, First Responder Task Force (www.FRTF.us), funds all of our administrative and overhead expenses - making it possible for 100% of the public donations we receive to go directly to serving the families of fallen First Responders. The average nonprofit spends nearly 66% of public donations on administrative and overhead expenses that include salaries, general expenses, and fundraising costs. This means for every $1.00 donated, only $0.34 is actually given to those you intended to help. With our 100% Giving Model, for every $1.00 donated, a family receives $1.00. That's generosity, done right. Our Goal... By 2025, our goal is to be an immediate source of financial and emotional support to 100% of families impacted by the loss of a First Responder in the line of duty. How You Can Help...

"“One day, you will be old, you will be frail, and you will be slow. And someone will ask you, what did you do in your day? What did you do in your prime when you were young and strong and fast? And you will tell them you were a New York City fireman, and when the day is done and the page is turned, that will be enough.” FDNY Lt. Pete Critsimilios (retired) There will be a day when it’s your last day, and will you be able to say you did right? When others speak your name, will it be followed with they were a good firefighter because that’s the highest compliment you can receive from your brothers and sisters? Will you be able to reflect on your career and be proud of the relationships you built with your brothers and sisters, knowing you were fully present in the conversations at the kitchen table? Because let’s face it, many are buried in their phones, hiding in their rooms and finding excuses not to bond with their fire family. Many are missing out on one of the best parts of the job, the bonding that builds the brotherhood. - Don’t miss out on the brotherhood. Be present. Will you look back knowing you prepared in a way that honored the oath you swore? Or will you wish you would have taken your fitness and training more seriously, regretting your complacency and mediocre approach to the job? - Have pride in how you prepare for the job. There will be a last call and a last shift when you have to walk away into retirement from the job you love, and will you be able to turn the page knowing you did it right and it was enough? - Be able to walk away proud of how you did your job." . .
