NEW YORK, Feb. 24, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- First Responders Children’s Foundation (FRCF) is pleased to announce that the Chris & Libby Revocable Trust has made an $870,000 donation to help fund its work on behalf of the children of first responders across America. Donations from revocable trusts and through planned giving make up a significant portion of philanthropic giving in the United States and help non-profits like FRCF expand and grow their footprint to help more families and children.
FRCF has touched the lives of 400,000 children and family members of U.S. first responders with programs that include scholarships, financial assistance grants, mental health resilience, and community engagement. If you are interested in financially supporting FRCF, please contact Randy Acosta, FRCF Chief Development Officer at (410) 937-2986 or racosta@1strcf.org.
