FAQ

What is The FASNY Fund?
The FASNY Fund is a program established by FASNY to receive and manage annual gifts needed to offset expenses and support programs that state support and membership alone can’t cover. The FASNY Fund was created to support FASNY in their efforts to provide information, education and training for the volunteer fire service throughout the state. The FASNY Fund represents the areas of greatest need. These include legislative support, training and education, fire prevention and life safety and youth programs, among other important initiatives.

Why is my gift important?
Your generous donation can directly improve our volunteer firefighters’ experience. Through support of the FASNY Fund, your donation provides legislative support, training and education, fire prevention and life safety resources as well as assists local youth programs. Or you can choose to designate your donation to support a specific program, such as Operation Small Change, Chapel Fund, or the FASNY Scholarship Fund.

Where does the money go?
As part of the fundraising initiative, you have the option to designate your donation to support a specific program of your choice: the FASNY General Fund, Operation Small Change, Chapel Fund or FASNY Scholarship Fund.
