The Eric Marsh Foundation is dedicated to honoring the sacrifices of America’s wildland firefighters by providing comprehensive support to firefighters and their families in times of need. We deliver vital financial assistance, emotional support, and mental health services to those affected by line-of-duty deaths, injury, and trauma. Through our work, we ensure that no wildland firefighter or family faces hardship alone by creating a strong network of support that reflects the brotherhood and sisterhood of the fire service. We are a 501(C)(3) nonprofit organization located in Prescott, Arizona.
