Who are we?
First Response Wellness Foundation (FRWF) is a foundation founded and operated by three law enforcement officers, from central Indiana. The foundation was founded on the basis of providing the necessary support to first responders nationwide, to reduce the rate of deaths within public safety.
Our organization is a nonprofit that is funded through donations and grants. FRWF provides funding to police, dispatchers, firefighters and EMS personnel to seek mental health assistance. We also proudly provide financial support to assist in attending trainings that could save the first responders life, or a member of the public.
Deputy Tim Coryell Memorial Fund
The Tim Coryell Memorial Fund, was created in memory of Timothy Coryell, who served with the Morgan County Sheriff’s Office from 2018-2023, before passing away from cancer. Tim was the type of person that always looked for a way to help the person in-front of him, whether it was a co-worker or someone he encountered on the street while working.
The fund is a special grant that allows for high school seniors, within Indiana, to apply for a competitive grant for assistance with funding their higher education. This grant is opened yearly and requires specific criteria, to be met and a detailed essay.
Along with the competitive grant, we also ensure to budget money yearly to give to families who have lost a loved one in the line of duty.
