A bequest can make a real difference to the CFS volunteers and their families who have suffered through death, injury, loss or damage of their own property whilst in the line of service.

Gifts and donations will ensure the CFS Foundation can continue to provide a range of support to volunteers and their families when they need it most. Bequests are vital to protect the financial stability of the CFS Foundation and ensure there are adequate funds to enable us to continue to support volunteer CFS firefighters when necessary.

Supporters interested in leaving a legacy to the CFS Foundation can request a copy of our special bequest booklet or refer to the details below:-
