FIRST KEY
FIREFIGHTER FUND
They protect our homes.
Let’s help them own one.
First Key Fund is building a dedicated homeownership fund to help Florida firefighters purchase a home with no down payment and affordable, below-market financing.
100% of your donation supports First Key Fund’s charitable mission.
First Key Fund is a Florida 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
Firefighters protect the communities
they increasingly can’t afford to live in.
Florida’s housing costs have risen dramatically, while the people we depend on to protect our communities haven’t always seen their incomes keep pace. Even firefighters with steady careers can struggle with the combination of down payments, mortgage rates and monthly housing costs.
First Key Fund was created to change that equation.
$0 Down Payment Goal
Helping remove one of the biggest barriers to homeownership.
Below-Market Financing
Affordable financing designed to reduce the monthly cost of homeownership.
Revolving Fund
As loan payments return to the fund, those dollars can help future homebuyers.

Why We Help
Firefighters Achieve Homeownership
Firefighting isn’t just a job. It’s a calling.
Ask firefighters what drew them to the profession and you’ll rarely hear “the pay” or “the schedule.” You’ll hear about wanting to help people.
And helping doesn’t always mean running into a burning building. It can mean helping someone who has fallen and can’t get up, responding to someone who’s scared and alone, or simply showing up on what may be the worst day of another person’s life.
The firefighters who define the profession at its best understand that what feels routine to them can mean everything to the person who called for help.
That’s the kind of service we want to recognize.
First Key Fund created the Firefighter Fund not because firefighters can’t buy homes on their own, but because we believe service like theirs deserves something better than a standard mortgage: no down payment, below-market financing, and a real opportunity to make homeownership more affordable.
Helping a firefighter into a home isn’t charity. It’s recognition of a calling built around showing up for others.
“They show up for our communities.
Now let’s show up for them.”
