Helping Public Safety Communications Professionals in Need

APCO’s Sunshine Fund, funded primarily by the voluntary contributions of the APCO membership, provides financial assistance to public safety communications professionals who experience a life-altering event that places a significant financial burden upon them or their immediate family. Financial grants are based on the nature of the event and the availability funds.
