About the Foundation
The Assist The Officer Foundation provides financial assistance to officers who are facing the loss of income due to a serious injury, life-threatening illness or other catastrophic event. Immediate assistance is also available to an officers family in the event of the death of an active officer.
Since its creation in 1999, the foundation has provided assistance to hundreds of officers and their families who were faced with any number of different life-altering situations.
This charity does not show up on either Charity Navigator or Charity Watch. It does appear here:

Thank you for caring for the families of those officers who were murdered last night while doing their duty. Just went to your link and made a donation.

I think the Dallas Police Association is the white union. The Blacks have the “Black Police Association of Greater Dallas” and the Mexicans have “ Dallas Latino Peace Officers Association “. There is a smaller FOP. I’m not sure who represents the Asians.
Thank you for posting this.

I suspect they’ll have more money on hand after today. I hope so!
MeganC, have you investigated this Foundation’s overhead cost to see what proportion of the donations than they pass on to the injured cops and the families of police officers who died? I don’t know anything about this organization. Is it union controlled?
