RSAR services are free to any individual or agency in need of our services. Our believe is that to postpone a call-for-service (help) because of financial concerns could cost a life.

 

RSAR relies upon the generous contributions of the community to fulfill our mission of saving lives. We also provide safety education to civic groups and school events. We would like to publicly thank all those that have contributed over the years that help Rampart perform our mission and help keep the cost of our services free.

General Information About Us

  • We are all self-funded volunteers. We pay for our own supplies, including fuel, dogs & dog related supplies, and all specialized equipment. We do not get any funds from other agencies, county, state (yes we do not get the .25 cents from state licenses) or the federal government. While our team members give much of their time training & own money for personal equipment to meet State & Federal guidelines, our unit depends upon donations & contributions to remain operational. We are currently seeking grants, donations, corporate and private sponsors. Our services are free. . . . . so any donations are greatly appreciated.

  • FUNDING - RSAR is a non-profit, volunteer organization. All funding is derived from individual donations, grants and other types of fundraising. Our members spend countless hours of their free time and occasionally their work time to respond to a search and rescue operation. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to support the valuable work that we do for the community.

  • We are a 501(c)(3) Non Profit Origination under the IRS tax code. Your donations are tax deductible.
