The FIRE Foundation is honored to receive a Life & Justice campaign grant to support occupational therapy services for children with learning differences. It was an inspiring evening celebrating the work being done by all the grantees to promote the dignity of every human life.

Diocese of Kansas City - St. Joseph

It takes a lot of faith, love and commitment to help students succeed. It also requires trained special educators, paraeducators, knowledge of best practices in inclusive education and access to specially designed curriculum and technology.
Not surprisingly, the need for these additional resources is rising. And FIRE Foundation is rising to the challenge. With help from friends like you, we can do even more to support inclusive Catholic education.

That’s why we’re thrilled to announce an opportunity to double your donation. Let’s come together and strike a match for FIRE! Every dollar raised through this campaign - up to $50,000 - will be matched by a generous friend of FIRE. Will you help us turn $50K into $100 Grand?

During the past 27 years, we’ve learned a lot about creating learning environments that spark students’ academic, social and spiritual growth.
