PLEASE CONSIDER MAKING A DONATION TO TFPD!
Donations
Monetary donations from the Tallahassee Fire Protection District (TFPD) community help cover expenses not included in the annual budget. Fixed and expected expenses are budgeted; some important projects still need support. Your contribution directly aids our volunteer firefighters, emergency medical responders, and projects that benefit the entire community. Examples include:
- Community outreach programs: Education and engagement tailored to the TFPD community.
- Fire danger signage: Keeping residents informed about the current fire risk.
- Firefighter equipment: A full set of gear for one firefighter can cost around $10,000.
- Grant-matching funds: Unlocking external grants that benefit volunteer first responders.
Be a part of it: Consider donating to TFPD today.

GRANTS:
Grants are essential to the Tallahassee Fire Protection District (TFPD) because our budget alone cannot meet all the needs required to protect the health and safety of both our firefighters and the public. Grants help bridge the gap between what we need and what we can afford through our normal revenue streams.
Each grant funds different types of equipment and services—such as vehicles, safety gear, and firefighter training—and each comes with its own application process. To receive a grant, TFPD must submit a detailed application that includes a strong justification for why the funds are needed. Because grants are highly competitive, requests often exceed the available funding. Some grants provide only partial support, such as a 50-50 grant, which covers 50% of the cost only if the fire department matches the remaining 50%. This is why TFPD includes Matching Grants in its annual budget planning.
TFPD has been fortunate to receive grants in the past to fund vital firefighter training and lifesaving equipment. We are extremely grateful for this continued support and recognition.
