Why Donate to TVFD?

Please consider making a donation to the TVFD for the following reasons:

The membership of the TVFD prides itself on spending countless hours maintaining and upgrading our property, buildings, apparatus and equipment to ensure we provide the highest level of emergency services as well as being a great neighbor to our community.
Unlike the time we volunteer, our operational and associated costs are not free and come at a significant yet worthy/invaluable cost. Your support is just as vital as the countless hours our volunteers contribute to our community.
Financial support from state and local government covers some of our annual $300,000 operating costs. This doesn’t cover the cost of new fire engines at a current cost of $500,000, heavy rescue trucks currently cost of around $1.2M, and EMS support vehicles at $50,000. How does the TVFD fund this balance? We solely rely on your support to fund the balance of our operating costs and all of our new fire apparatus expenses.

Donation FAQ

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 Our 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.
