The foundations’ mission is to support the Orland Fire District’s residents, employees, and staff through fund raising activities which reflect the values of the community. Goals:

The Orland Fire Foundation, INC. is the official not-for-profit 501(c)3 organization of the Orland Fire Protection District and has been in existence since February of 2009. The mission of the Foundation is to assist the OFPD and EMS in educating, informing and involving the public in protecting life and property, and support the Department’s operational enhancements. The Foundation raises money for programs through government grants, corporate gifts, foundations and individual donors. This fundraising helps the Department maintain the tradition of excellence that is recognized throughout the State of Illinois as setting the standard in fire suppression, pre hospital medical care and emergency response. We raise money for the Department’s fire safety programs to continue educating the public to take preventative measures to protect themselves from serious injury or fatality in the event of fire, medical emergencies, homeland security risks and other threats to life and liberty. The Foundation also provides funds to the OFPD for expanded training programs, the purchase of equipment and investments in state of the art technology to assist the Department and residents in reducing injuries and fatalities.
