Programs

Community Assistance Fund

The Community Assistance Fund is a fund and program where an employee of the Fire District can spend up to $100 at their discretion to provide assistance to citizens in the District’s community they encounter in the course of their work who are in need.  The fund has been created from non-public funds, including donations made to the District and employee/volunteer contributions.

Automated External Defibrillator Grant Program

The District supports placing AEDs in public areas where large numbers of people gather.  In an effort to support those organizations that invest in an AED for their facilities, groups may request a cost-share grant.  This program relies on Community donations to fund a one-time, cost-share reimbursable grant.

Spirit of Christmas

The “Spirit of Christmas” provides Christmas gifts to families in need in Sisters Country during the holiday season.  Gifts are provided to roughly 200-350 area children each year.

Jim Gentry Memorial Scholarship

This scholarship is created in honor of the memory of Chaplain Jim Gentry who served as the Chaplain to the Sisters-Camp Sherman Fire Department.  Local graduating seniors from Sisters or Black Butte Ranch ambulance service areas are eligible for the scholarship.

Wildfire Home Assessments

Community support is vital to expanding our wildfire mitigation and prevention outreach. Funds designated for Wildfire Home Assessments directly support our efforts by enabling personnel to conduct free, one-on-one property evaluations that identify unique risk factors around local homes. Your contributions allow us to supply residents with actionable guidance on vegetation management, ember-resistant building materials, and effective home hardening strategies. Ultimately, these donations help build fire-adapted neighborhoods by equipping homeowners with the knowledge and resources needed to create safer zones—protecting families, properties, and the firefighters defending our community.

General Donation

General donations are used to provide smoke alarms to at risk groups including senior citizens and families with young children.  In addition to purchasing smoke alarms, funds may be used to purchase child safety seats or bicycle helmets for young children.
