Donate to the DEA Widows’ and Children’s Fund

The DEA maintains a not-for-profit charitable Fund – the DEA Widows’ and Children’s Fund – which originated to help support the families of those who died in the line of duty. The concept of this Fund dates back to the founding of the Union in 1917, at a time when the widows and children of slain Officers received very little assistance, and it was up to the Officer’s colleagues to look after the welfare of the families of their fallen brothers and sisters. That protective spirit, bond, fraternity, and brotherhood still exists today amongst the members of New York’s Finest.
