What Fallen Blue Heroes does
Mission
Our mission is to ease the financial burden of the fallen officer's family in the event of a line-of-duty death. Fallen Blue Heroes ("fallen blue or organization") aims to provide direct relief to distressed families in the form of financial grants to fallen police officers' families. The organization is not geographically based and will provide grants on a nationwide basis subject to available funding. These grants will be awarded for the purposes of housing, transportation, medical or educational costs and other similar necessities. Grant beneficiaries must be immediate family members of a fallen officer (defined as a parent, spouse, domestic partner or child). Grant applications are available on the organization's website.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
Fallen blue's mission is to ease the financial burden of the fallen officers families in the event of line-of-duty deaths. One way that fallen blue accomplishes this mission is through making grants to families of officers who are killed in the line of duty. These grants cover necessities such as housing, transportation, and the like. The grants allow families to continue focusing on their healing without the added stress of financial hardships that often accompany a family member's death. In 2024, one grant was give to one family.
