Supporting each other has always been emblematic
of the American character, from the time the colonists landed to
the present. Since 9/11, we have discovered an even greater need
to work together, with the common goal of protecting and preserving
our freedoms and our way
of life.
The Federal Enforcement Homeland
Security Foundation (FEHSF) is
a non-profit corporation formed to assist Federal Agents and law
enforcement officials through supporting their families with emergency
funding, financial
assistance and community outreach. In particular, FEHSF provides
monetary support to families of Agents and officers who are seriously
injured or
killed on duty protecting the nation’s citizens or enforcing
our laws. Additionally, FEHSF supports those Agents or Agents'
families during times of personal difficulties.

FEHSF engages
private industry as a partner in this effort of assistance, particularly
in conjunction
with the increased need for national
security. Working with federal law enforcement agencies but unencumbered
by bureaucratic red tape, FEHSF is able to make quick, insightful
decisions
and award funds with great efficiency and immediacy.
Additional goals:
On the education and community outreach level, FEHSF
supports programs that teach young people about the value provided by our various
law enforcement bureaus. Making the police and the feds seem "cool" to
kids, deglamorizing gangs, guns, and violence, and reinforcing respect for our
system of government is a crucial way to bring the next generation to adulthood
as full-fledged, contributing members of society.

Most of all, we will offer the economic support
to comfort those who have suffered — and those
who have given the ultimate sacrifice of themselves — to
sustain and strengthen the American way of life.
