Benevolent Fund Information
The WSCFF Benevolent Fund was incorporated on January 13, 1995. A separate entity from the Washington State Council of Fire Fighters and the fundraising campaign that is carried out by SRI, is unrelated to the WSCFF Benevolent Fund.
The WSCFF Benevolent Fund is a 501(c)3 nonprofit corporation created to provide aid to fire fighters, their families, and others deemed in need. Donations made to the Benevolent Fund are tax deductible and will be used to assist beneficiaries in recovering from difficult times resulting from illness, injury or the death of a loved one. We do not solicit the public for donations to the Benevolent Fund. The Benevolent Fund is a registered charity with the Secretary of State. It exists solely as a 501(c)3 nonprofit corporation. The UBI number for the Benevolent Fund is 601-614-340. At this time, 100% of the funds donated go to the charitable purpose.
Please email us if you have any questions or comments.
The WSCFF Benevolent Fund Programs
The WSCFF Benevolent Fund is proud of its work with this project in helping the country of Peru gain access to more modern fire equipment. The Second Alarm Foundation works with fire departments in Washington State to attain surplused fire trucks, aid cars, protective gear, and fire or emergency medical equipment so it can be donated to the Peruvian Fire Service.

The Washington State Legislature passed House Bill 2910 during the 2004 legislative session creating a specialized license plate for fire fighters and paramedics. This plate series is only available to members of the WSCFF who must submit an application prior to receiving a fire fighter/paramedic license plate.
