Last year, the State Farm® Good Neighbor Firefighter Safety Program provided $1.5 million in funding to 150 volunteer fire departments across the country. 🚒

Each $10,000 grant helped departments purchase critical equipment to better protect their crews and communities.

And it’s happening again. 👀

The 2026 program is right around the corner and now is the time to prepare. The application period will be open May 4 at noon ET until May 7 at noon ET.
