….Celebrating the 17th Anniversary of the S.A.F.E. Home Newborn smoke alarm giveaway program!

Mission Statement

“The National S.A.F.E. Home Foundation is dedicated to reducing the number of preventable deaths and injuries due to residential fires through smoke alarm giveaway and fire safety education programs.”

What is the National S.A.F.E. Home Foundation, Inc.?

The National S.A.F.E. Foundation, Inc. "Children's Fire & Burn Fund" is a 501 (3) non-profit organization supporting fire educators and public educators, in community fire safety and prevention efforts. S.A.F.E. Home partnerships are developed with fire departments, health departments, hospitals, Red Cross Chapters, SAFE KIDs Coalitions, civic organizations and corporations to establish smoke alarm giveaway programs.

Accomplishments

Since February 1990, over 300,000 free smoke alarms have been provided to the parents of newborns, preschool and grade school children, the disabled, deaf and hard of hearing, senior citizens and the general public through our Associate Members in over 300 communities in 43 states.

Hundred’s of thousands of Americans were reminded of the importance of working smoke alarms and fire safety practices to prevent and prepare for the tragedy of fire.

To date, 24 lives have been saved through established S.A.F.E. Home Programs (that we know of!). There is no greater measure of the success of a program than saved lives.

The Independent Charities Seal of Excellence demonstrate on an annual basis and after a rigorous independent review the Children’s Fire & Burn Fund meets the highest standards of public accountability, program effectiveness, and cost effectiveness. Of the 1,000,000 charities operating in the United States today it is estimated that fewer than 50,000, or 5 %, meet or exceed these standards, and, of those, fewer than 2,000 have been awarded this Seal.
