Supporting our First Responders
he OneGoat Foundation provides vital financial assistance to active and retired first responders and their organizations. We honor public servants across Police, Fire, EMS, and Dispatch by offering support in four primary areas:
- Direct Financial Support: Rapid gap funding when unexpected hardships strike.
- Mental Health & Wellness: Direct access to crucial mental health resources and therapy.
- Funeral Services: Compassionate financial assistance during times of loss.
- Recovery Travel: Expenses covered for travel in pursuit of medical or psychological recovery.
Why OneGoat?
First responders place public safety above their own every single day. They are the first on the scene, selflessly protecting our lives, loved ones, and homes. To us, that makes them the Greatest Of All Time (G.O.A.T.) in humanity.
Our foundation was born out of a single, heartbreaking moment. A Colorado paramedic—a dedicated father, husband, and friend—rode directly into an avalanche to save his best friend’s son. Tragically, both perished in the slide. He left behind a wife and 12-year-old twins facing an uncertain future.
When his department rallied together, a memorial golf tournament raised over $50,000 to care for his family. But his story is not unique. Countless first responder families navigate life-altering injuries, loss, and financial crises every year. OneGoat exists to ensure no first responder family faces those challenges alone.
Why First Responders Need Uur Support:
- Zero-Margin Work: Minor injuries can completely stop first responders from working, as their roles require being 100% physically operational.
- Workers’ Comp Delays: Claims are frequently delayed, leaving families without income during crucial recovery windows.
- Uncovered Care: Physical and mental health therapy costs add up quickly and are often poorly covered by standard insurance.
- Heightened Occupational Risks: First responders face significantly higher rates of job-related cancers, physical injuries, and PTSD.
