State Farm teamed up with the National Volunteer Fire Council (NVFC) – the leading nonprofit association representing the volunteer fire, EMS, and rescue services – to help volunteer fire departments. Through the State Farm Good Neighbor Firefighter Safety Program, $1 million has been awarded in 2024 to fund critical fire department equipment.

In total, 100 local volunteer fire departments across the U.S. have been selected to receive a $10,000 grant. These grants will go to purchase equipment that will enhance safety, communications and operations for volunteer fire departments.
