The Northshore Fire Fund board and committee members volunteer their time and expertise in many areas including marketing, communications, graphic design, website design, and business development. The Fire Fund eagerly encourages the participation of residents or any representative of the Northshore District in its efforts and activity seeks in-kind donations as well. Admin costs are generally less than 8%.

No. Donations to the Northshore Fire Fund will only be used for tangible assets and will never be used for firefighter salaries or benefits.

The formation of the Northshore Fire Fund enables private citizens or organizations to make tax-deductible contributions. The Northshore Fire Fund works on fundraising and collecting donations to support purchases of equipment and supplies for the Northshore Fire Protection District. There is just not enough funds in their budget to cover the cost of operations and the high costs of continuing to drive improvements in necessary equipment and technology needed to keep Northshore on the leading edge.
