Mission & Focus Areas
The foundation’s mission is “to save lives by improving pre-hospital emergency care.” Its stated vision is that no one dies from a treatable medical emergency. Its work includes paramedic training and continuing education, research to improve patient care and prevent sudden cardiac arrest, equipment for emergency care providers, EMT scholarships, CPR/AED and first aid training, and community outreach.
In 2024, the foundation reported supporting training for 27 new paramedics and continuing education for 260 current paramedics; awarding 18 EMT scholarships; donating 19 AEDs; providing equipment to eight local fire departments; and conducting more than 200 CPR and first aid classes for over 3,000 people. It also reported supporting first-responder mental health peer-support initiatives and promoting the PulsePoint mobile app.
The foundation’s website describes equipment support for fire departments and other eligible EMS providers. Its 2024 filing lists grants for paramedic education, EMT scholarships, equipment, and PulsePoint licenses. PulsePoint Foundation, a 2024 grantee, describes its own mission as building applications that help public safety agencies inform and engage citizens. Life Support, another 2024 grantee, says it works to enhance emergency medical services and health care in the Upper Kittitas Communities and I-90 Corridor.
Grantmaking
In filing year 2024, the foundation reported 13 grants totaling $1,303,945. The grants ranged from $5,394 to $1,120,000, with a median of $14,333. The largest listed grants included $1,120,000 to the University of Washington for paramedic training and education, $30,000 to North Seattle College for EMT scholarships, and $27,184 to Redmond Fire Department for equipment and training. Other listed awards included $25,500 to Snohomish County 911 and $19,818 to NORCOM for PulsePoint licenses, and $20,000 to Emergency Medical Services at UW for EMT services on the UW campus. Its 2025 filing, the latest on this page, reports 11 grants totaling $1.9 million.
The foundation’s equipment-grant materials describe support for nonprofit EMS providers. The application page says eligible applicants must be public entities or Washington-recognized private nonprofit corporations providing EMS to a Washington community. It prioritizes field patient-care equipment and firefighter and paramedic training and education, and excludes, among other things, vehicles, clothing and wearable safety items, routine replacement of standard in-service equipment, disposable items, and certain operating expenses. Awards generally range from $2,500 to $25,000, are usually matching grants, and may cover up to 75% of equipment costs. A request must include a proposal or application and budget; equipment requests of $1,000 or more require two vendor bids. The filing says the board approves grants and gifts, and grantees must provide progress reports and budgets; equipment grantees must submit a paid invoice.
