Strengthening Our Community:
ABOUT THE FUND FOR WEST PALM BEACH POLICE
The mission of THE FUND is to provide programs and services to the men and women of the West Palm Beach Police Department to make their jobs easier and express appreciation for what they do to help keep our community safe.
THE FUND for West Palm Beach Police (a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) company) was created to serve and protect the very people who ensure that the community remains a safe, vibrant world-class city.
For them, operating at maximum effectiveness often goes beyond what local budgeting can bear. Working within the requirements of city government and police leadership, but outside the confines of local budgeting, THE FUND supplements operational needs and financial limitations for WPB’s finest.
Also, by supporting these first-responders needs, resources become an investment in improving public safety and enhancing residents’ quality of life.
It’s a community, after all, and communities become stronger when individuals have each others’ backs. To the police of West Palm Beach, we’re on our way.
