ALL CHILDREN MATTER! your support counts!
DONATE TODAY!
At the FIRE Foundation NE Florida, we believe that every child deserves the chance to belong—to learn, grow, and shine in a Catholic or private school community that celebrates their unique gifts.
Right now, there are families who long to say “yes” to this opportunity for their child with special needs—but limited resources make that dream out of reach. Together, we can change that.
Your gift helps us provide:
✨ Professional Development for teachers
✨ Grants to schools for classroom aides and support staff
✨ Resources, tools and technology that make inclusion possible for students with diverse learning needs
