Why Donating to your local Fire Department is so important.

We give out time freely.

Our members take pride in the countless hours spent maintaining and upgrading our station, trucks, and equipment — all to ensure we deliver the highest level of emergency service and remain a dependable neighbor to our community.

But operating isn’t free.

Fuel, regular maintenance, safety gear, and ongoing training all come with a price. These essential add up to more than $300,000 annually, and that doesn’t include the cost of new trucks, tools, or specialized equipment needed to respond safely and effectively.

Your support keeps us ready.

Government funding covers part of our $300,000 annual costs, but not new equipment. With engines around $500,000, rescues $1.2 million, and EMS vehicles $50,000, we rely entirely on community donations to keep Toney Fire equipped and ready to respond.

Frequently asked questions

Our Operating Fund

The Operating Fund is our crucial source of direct support to fund our operating budget. TVFD depends on the Operating Fund to meet its most pressing needs, including required training; mandated and routine maintenance of equipment, gear, and buildings; scheduled replacement of gear and equipment; technology demands needed to improve productivity and drive operational excellence.

Operating Fund contributions underwrite every aspect of TVFD and directly correlate to our level of service.

Why is participation so important?

Aside from being the lifeblood of our 100% volunteer organization, community support is often an imperative element in the consideration of foundations and corporations when they consider contributions.

What giving options are there?

Gifts of cash and securities are the most common forms of support received. Checks are payable to Toney Volunteer Fire Department. Contributions involving stock and/or bonds are another option.

What is a "Matching" gift?

Companies will often match your gift to TVFD. You may double or perhaps triple the impact of your gift by taking advantage of your employer’s matching gift program. Please check with your human resources department, and follow their instructions.

How much should I give?

We would appreciate a gift of any amount. Recent contributions ranged from $10 to more than $35,000. Your participation is what makes a real difference.

When should I give?

Gifts contributed early curtail additional costs incurred for follow-up mailings, and they encourage others to give.

The TVFD does not solicit donations by phone calls.
