APCO’s Sunshine Fund
Did you know that APCO International has a way for members to help their colleagues in need? In 2004, APCO’s Executive Council established the “Sunshine Fund,” which provides financial assistance to public safety communications professionals or their immediate family members in distress.
The Sunshine Fund is available to anyone in the public safety communications profession regardless of membership status who meets the criteria for assistance. Based on the circumstances and the availability of monies in the fund, these individuals may qualify for a financial grant to assist them. Any APCO member may nominate a colleague as a recipient by completing the Sunshine Fund Request Form.
How can you contribute to the Fund? Chapters, corporations and individuals are welcome to give to the Sunshine Fund and all donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. Donations can be sent to the APCO Accounting Department made payable to the “Sunshine Fund.”
