Our Impact This Year
Every number represents a real person — a firefighter, a spouse, a child — whose life was changed because someone cared enough to act.
2025 Year in Review
In 2025, the Eric Marsh Foundation provided direct support to 18 families who lost a wildland firefighter in the line of duty and 17 catastrophically injured wildland firefighters.
We expanded support programs for wildland firefighters and their families nationwide. Our Grocery Program kept helping families impacted by catastrophic injury and line-of-duty death, alongside expanded mental health resources and educational scholarships. We stayed committed to the wildland fire community’s unique needs with long-term, boots-on-the-ground support.
Our downtown Prescott storefront grew through 2025, deepening community engagement and mission-driven retail support. We hosted another Wildland Widows Retreat, a gathering for connection and healing among women who have lost a wildland firefighter in the line of duty. As we grow, our mission stays centered on honoring the lives and legacy of the Granite Mountain Hotshots while serving the broader wildland fire community.
Our Journey
Nineteen members of the Granite Mountain Hotshots lost their lives on June 30, 2013. Their sacrifice inspired the creation of this foundation.
Amanda Marsh founded the Eric Marsh Foundation to address critical gaps in support for wildland firefighter families.
The Granite Mountain Hotshots' story reached a national audience through the feature film Only the Brave.
Over 11 years, the foundation has supported hundreds of wildland firefighter families through emergency aid, scholarships, medical support, and long-term recovery programs.
