Mission Statement
The Lionheart Gift Foundation was created to show appreciation by giving back to those who put their lives on the line, protect and serve our communities and our country, in essence, a Lionheart.
The program is our way of saying thank you for their bravery, love, and care.
Lionhearts are our Law Enforcement, Military, Firefighters, 911 Dispatchers and Registered Nurses who actively serve, are retired from service or who have survived a spouse who has served.
The Beginning of it all
This foundation was inspired during a visit to the Law Enforcement Memorial in Washington, DC.
As our founders were attending the ceremony at the memorial center, there was such an overwhelming sense of love for all those who have battled and put their lives on the line with courage and bravery to provide us protection.
A symbolic Lion and Lioness statute surrounding the names as protection of these fallen officers. Names that were recognized and many that weren't. Each one with loved ones who they left behind.
The Foundation was formed with many supporters who believed in giving back and serving our community.
In partnership with Real Estate Agents and Brokerages, we have developed an amazing way to give back to those who are, in essence, a Lionheart.
The "give back"
Whenever there is a Lionheart in need, they can request assistance by applying through the Foundation and explaining the need. The Foundation will assess the need and help anyway we can.
For example: If a Lionheart experiences their water heater goes out and they don't have the funds to pay for a replacement. The Foundation may be able to assist with those funds or find other means for assistance.
In 2020, we assisted a 911 Dispatcher who's condo flooded by replacing most of the belongings that was destroyed by the flood.
