Ways to Give
When you donate to SHIELD616, you’re helping provide lifesaving protection to the first responders who serve our communities every day. Your gift equips them with advanced rifle-rated armor they often can’t get through department budgets alone. Explore the categories below to support the mission in the way that’s most meaningful to you.
For every agency we work with, we set-up a dedicated fund for that agency. In our drop-down menu you can select the agency you choose. To date we have helped over 400 agencies receive the protection they need because of amazing donors like you!
If you choose Greatest Needs, we will apply it those funds toward one of our agencies who have reached out and are in need of funds. Each year we have over new 60 agencies reach out to us for help. Your generosity gives us the ability to say YES to those requests.
If you want to know about a specific agency not listed, please reach out to Marcy at [email protected] or 719-345-2442.
We proudly offer the Rescue Carrier from Angel Armor for our fire and EMS friends. It’s specifically designed for firefighters, EMS, and rescue personnel. It provides the rifle-rated protection first responders need while offering greater flexibility, adjustability, and comfort for the demanding work they do every day.
Firefighters are increasingly responding to domestic violence incidents, active shooter situations, weapons calls, and other volatile scenes—not just fires and medical emergencies. Having access to Level III rifle-rated armor has become an essential piece of safety equipment.
Because of your generosity, departments that otherwise couldn’t afford this critical protection are receiving the equipment they need to serve their communities safely. Thank you for making that possible.
SHIELD616 is a nonprofit 501 (c) 3 nonprofit exempt organization that relies on the donations of community members to help us carry out our critical mission. Part of that mission includes general operating expenses like salaries, vehicle expenses, travel, software, mailing, etc. Your unrestricted programs donation will go toward helping us carry out our mission to Protect Our Protectors while helping us cover these costs associated with running SHIELD616.
