Welcome to the Greater New Orleans First Responders Fund

The Greater New Orleans First Responders Fund, a 501 C3 nonprofit corporation, was founded by Blaine Kern Sr. in 2007. The Fund is focused on providing tangible benefits to first responders that will strengthen the recruiting and retention efforts of local police, fire, and EMS departments. This Fund will operate two components of a comprehensive housing intiative for first responders of the Greater New Orleans region.
