Why is a Nonprofit Organization needed?
Our Northshore Fire Fund will help to augment the Northshore Fire Protection District by receiving and distributing tax-deductible Contributions and donations. Established as a "special district" our Northshore Fire Protection District doesn't get financial support from the County as you might think, instead the funds come from Direct Charges that are collected alongside Property Taxes, Mitigation Fees for new development, and then grants and donations that are given. The NORTHSHORE FIRE FUND (NFF) is a way for every day citizens, businesses, and established companies and organizations to invest in their district to keep the NFPD services as efficient and available to all of the communities of the Northshore. The Northshore Fire Protection District is the one entity that connects our entire Northshore together and this needs to be sustainable for years to come.
We have a large populous of low income individuals, senior citizens, and medically fragile community members among the approximately 12,400 residents who live within the boundaries of the Northshore Fire Protection District. Some may not be able to give to this cause but so many desperately need these services. Perhaps the rest of us are able to help out a bit more and in doing so, we can help our neighbors, our communities, and our Northshore Fire Protection District altogether.
The goal of the Northshore Fire Fund is to help fill the gap between the need for equipment, gear, and technology and the funding they have to operate with. In order for the NFPD to provide our communities with the care and response we need, while maintaining their own safety and protection.

Good4Northshore CommunitiesThe Northshore Fire Fund will work to establish fundraising events and campaigns to collect donations to support the effort in obtaining equipment and supplies for the Northshore Fire District. The Northshore Fire Fund, was created in order to provide funding for up-to-date equipment, proper protective equipment, and technology and training for our Northshore Fire Stations and Firefighters who serve our Northshore communities and handle more than 3,300+ incidents a year. They show up everyday to respond to our medical emergencies, vehicle accidents, hazardous conditions, fires and severe weather. Our Northshore Fire Protection District should be the most advanced and efficient form of an all-risk emergency response.

Training & EducationThe Northshore Fire Fund will provide regular communications and awareness to the public about fire prevention, emergency preparedness, defensible space, home safety, and much more.
In addition, the Northshore Fire Protection District firefighters will continue to be involved in the community and engage in training and educational workshops. We are all in this together and there is so much that we can accomplish working together for the same goals. |
Share KindnessPay it forward! In the Northshore, we have many citizens that desperately need these services and more.

The Northshore response area is 357 square miles along a 47 mile stretch of Hwy. 20 from the Mendocino/Lake to the Colusa/Lake County Line. If you can share kindness by donating to the Northshore Fire Fund this will assist the
