A Corporate Partnership Program

Partner with the station that protects your campus.

Houston has more Fortune 100 headquarters than any U.S. city except New York. Every campus is served by an HFD fire station. Friends of Houston Firefighters formalizes that relationship: civic recognition, ongoing partnership, real impact.

What Partners Receive

Friend of Station [X]

  • Civic designation as a Friend of your local HFD station
  • Annual renewal, no multi-year lock-in. Step up or step out
  • Station visits and firefighter recognition
  • Full 501(c)(3) documentation for cash contributions
  • Flexibility: cash, equipment, services, or tribute gifts
The Opportunity

103 stations. Zero formal corporate partners.

The Houston Fire Department operates 103 fire stations across the city. Every Fortune 500 campus, every corporate headquarters, every major employer. Someone shows up when you call.

Not one of those stations has a formal corporate partner yet. Friends of Houston Firefighters changes that.

Already Proven

Houston companies already do this.

The model isn’t theoretical. Houston’s largest corporate givers have been partnering with the Foundation for years. Friends simply formalizes what’s already working.

CBRE Group
Commercial Real Estate · Tribute Partner
Ongoing
CBRE Group gives to the Fire Fighters Foundation of Houston in memory of retired Senior Captain Anthony Morado Sr. It is a tribute partnership that has become a model for how companies can honor a specific firefighter.
"The model works. Friends formalizes it."
ExxonMobil
Energy · Equipment Partner
$100K+
ExxonMobil contributed more than $100,000 to the Foundation during COVID-19, directly supporting life-saving equipment purchases at a time when the department needed it most. Their Good Neighbor Grant program is explicitly open to fire departments.
This isn’t speculative. It’s already working.

How It Works

Four steps from interest to impact.

01

Reach out through the form below or directly to Foundation leadership. We’ll understand your company’s giving priorities, the station that serves your campus, and the form of partnership that makes sense for you.

02
Review & Align

Match to a station.

We’ll connect your company to the HFD station that serves your campus and identify what that station most needs. Cash to the Foundation, equipment from the wishlist, services in-kind, or a tribute gift. We’ll find the right shape.

03
Become a Friend

Formalize the partnership.

Your company receives the civic designation Friend of Station [X]. The Foundation provides 501(c)(3) documentation for cash contributions. Annual renewal, no multi-year lock-in.

04
Visibility & Recognition

See your impact.

Station visits. Firefighter recognition. Community visibility. A partnership here is an ongoing relationship with the people who show up when your campus calls, not a one-time check.
