ALTA Good Deeds Foundation Awards $10,000 Emergency Grant to Support Wildland Firefighter Families
July 14, 2026
The American Land Title Association (ALTA) Good Deeds Foundation awarded a $10,000 emergency grant to the Wildland Firefighter Foundation, which provides financial assistance and other resources to the families of wildland firefighters who have been injured or killed in the line of duty.
The emergency grant comes as active wildfires continue to impact communities across several states and follows the recent tragic loss of three wildland firefighters who died while battling fires near the Colorado-Utah border. While the Wildland Firefighter Foundation is based in Idaho, its mission and support extend to wildland firefighters and their families nationwide.
“Wildland firefighters put themselves in harm’s way to protect lives, homes and communities,” said Steve Day NTP, board chair of the ALTA Good Deeds Foundation and past president of ALTA. “In the wake of this recent tragedy and during a challenging wildfire season, the ALTA Good Deeds Foundation is honored to support the Wildland Firefighter Foundation and the families who rely on its critical assistance during moments of unimaginable loss and hardship.”
The Wildland Firefighter Foundation provides immediate and long-term support to families of wildland firefighters who have been injured or killed in the line of duty, including financial assistance, help with medical and funeral expenses and other family support services.
“This emergency grant reflects the title insurance industry’s commitment to helping communities in times of urgent need,” said Chris Morton, CEO of ALTA. “Through the ALTA Good Deeds Foundation, our industry is proud to stand with the brave men and women who protect communities across the country and to support the families behind them.”
