About Us
Public safety and emergency preparedness are essential elements to Fayetteville’s economic vitality and livability. The Fayetteville Police Foundation provides the opportunity for collaboration between the public and private sectors to share the desire for a safer city.
The Fayetteville Police Foundation, founded in 2009, is an independent 501 (c)(3) non-profit, charitable organization dedicated to fostering public safety through community building, education, and outreach. Thus, the Foundation is in a unique position to promote dialogue between the community and law enforcement.
The Foundation provides a vehicle through which residents and businesses can do their part to help provide resources for programs that enhance the ability for the city’s men and women in blue to prevent and reduce crime.
While the city budget provides the necessary resources to fund operations of the Fayetteville Police Department, a number of programs are underfunded or not funded. The Foundation was created as a catalyst in responding to this need, so that no innovative program would be left behind.
