Make a donation Our mission

Our mission

We exist to celebrate the men and women who wear the badge, preserve the stories that define their service, and invest in programs that keep families and neighborhoods connected to the deputies who protect them. Every initiative we fund is built to deepen trust, offer tangible support, and carry the sheriff’s legacy forward with dignity.

Programs

Shop with the Shield — deputies and children at a holiday shopping event

Shop with a Sheriff

Our premier community event brings deputies and children together for a day of joy and mentorship. By supporting The Deputy Sheriff Legacy Foundation, you help fund these critical interactions that build lasting bonds between law enforcement and the next generation.

Catch a Kid

In partnership with

Our deputies watch for youth in our community and “catch them” doing something good. When deputies catch a kid doing something positive, they are rewarded with a gift card to Swig for a free drink and cookie.

This program seeks to generate opportunities where youth are seen and recognized for their positive actions. We believe it creates meaningful chances for positive interactions with public safety.

Before you donate

We use Zeffy so 100% of your gift comes to The Deputy Sheriff Legacy Foundation—Zeffy charges our organization no platform or processing fees.

Important: Zeffy pre-selects a tip at checkout

On the final payment step, Zeffy often defaults a tip (platform contribution) to a dollar amount that is already filled in. That tip is paid to Zeffy—not to The Deputy Sheriff Legacy Foundation. You are never required to leave it.

Before you complete payment, you must do one of the following:

Select a different tip amount from Zeffy’s list if you want to support their platform, or
Open the tip menu, choose Other, and enter $0.00 if you do not want to leave a tip.

If you skip this step, you may be charged the pre-selected tip amount even though you did not intend to leave one.

I understand that Zeffy defaults a tip on the payment step, that the tip is separate from my donation to the Foundation, and that I must either choose a different tip amount or set the tip to $0.00 (Other → $0.00) if I do not want to leave one.
