As a private, non-profit organization, Foxwall relies on donations and subscriptions from the community.

Your support is crucial to the high-quality care we love to deliver.

The staff and volunteers, thank you for your support!
How Your Donation Helps
Your donation can help Foxwall in a number of ways.
Improve Facilities
In 2006, Foxwall constructed a new EMS station on Hemlock Hollow Road in Fox Chapel. This facility enables us to serve our community by providing space for meetings and training, comfortable volunteer housing and space for our growing technology and equipment needs.
Your support enables us to maintain the Foxwall EMS building, both as a community center for learning and as home that the volunteers of this outstanding service can be proud of.
Improve Equipment and Technology
Foxwall EMS has two ambulances in serious need of replacement. Providing our community with the highest possible emergency medical service requires our team to have state-of-the-art technology and medical supplies.
The tools upon which we rely are continually changing and improving, and the costs for keeping up with this change are significant.
Foxwall is seeking to upgrade equipment and technology to provide our community with the highest level of medical care possible.
Enhance Operations
Foxwall operations encompass the day-to-day functions of providing a quality emergency medical service to the community. Volunteer recruitment, public education programs, outreach and staffing are all important activities of our organization.
Foxwall has very exciting plans for the future. We want to increase our visibility in the public and play a greater role in our community through increased educational programs such as CPR, First Aid and AED training.
We also want to ramp up our outreach efforts to increase the number of volunteers active with Foxwall. Our plans include more proactive recruitment and seminars in schools, colleges and other organizations to get people excited about EMS.
Supporting the Campaign
There are a number of ways to support the campaign.
Restricted and Unrestricted Gifts
Gifts of any size may be designated for a specific campaign goal chosen by the donor. A gift may also be made without restrictions.
Named Gifts
Make a gift in honor of someone close to you… or you can associate your name with a major project, facility or endowment opportunity.
Gifts of Cash
Many gifts to the campaign will be cash contributions, for which donors may receive tax benefits if they itemize deductions. Pledges to the campaign may be paid over a period of up to five years.
Planned Gifts and Bequests
Many donors discover that they can make a substantial gift through planned giving. Donors may enjoy full tax benefits for such contributions, enhancing their own financial situation even as they make a lasting contribution to Foxwall.

All gifts-in-kind will be credited to the campaign at the appraised value, including donations of art, equipment, rare books, real estate and similar non-monetary contributions.
