Operation Open Arms

Operation Open Arms is a community initiative where financial assistance is provided as requested by law enforcement agencies as well as the Fire/EMS departments within Ohio, Kentucky & Indiana. This program is funded through various methods including program support sponsors, private donations, and grants given to us from major partners/grantors of Back the Heroes Rumble.

Funds in this program are spent on resources/equipment needed to aid in multiple needs of our heroes in law enforcement and fire departments throughout our communities as requested via an application for help submitted on our website from the agencies needing it directly

Grants/Equipment funding is decided based on priority/need, available funding and three times per fiscal year.  Deadlines per quarter are March 1st, June 1st, & September 1st. Decisions are made 30 days after deadline and notifications are sent to the email provided in application. Applications received after September 1st are reviewed and decided on in the next Fiscal Year.
