About Us
The WPI Firefighters' Fund is a 501(c)(3) non-profit entity specifically formed for the purpose of providing support to the fire service of the United States of America. Della Williams founded the WPI Firefighters' Fund in 1999. Ms. Williams is CEO of Williams-Pyro, Inc., an engineering and manufacturing firm operating in Fort Worth, Texas, since 1963.
Of the many products the firm makes, their line of fire suppression products remains one of their most successful endeavors. Due to this success, and the undeniable need of fire service, Ms. Williams committed to supporting this non-profit organization by providing administrative expenses, physical office space, and general support.
The WPI Firefighters' Fund has no employees: volunteers and key employees at Williams-Pyro conduct all outreach efforts. This unique structure allows the WPI Firefighters' Fund to concentrate all support and donations from outside sources directly to fire service personnel, injured firefighters, and the families of injured or fallen firefighters.
Since its inception, the WPI Firefighters' Fund has provided $809,762.67 in grants to volunteer fire departments, injured firefighters, and families of fallen firefighters. Visit our Grants page to review a comprehensive list. A non-partisan person appointed by our Board of Directors thoroughly researches the circumstances of the grant requests, and our Board of Directors then votes for grant approval based on the information presented. The Board of Directors consists of fire service professionals, business leaders, and medical professionals.
