Cochise SAR Foundation
Cochise SAR Foundation Ltd. is the 501(c)(3) nonprofit that supports the volunteers of Cochise County Search & Rescue through direct funding, community education, and advocacy. Every dollar stays local — equipping the people who answer the call.
The volunteers serve for free. The gear doesn't.
Cochise County SAR is staffed entirely by unpaid volunteers who train year-round and respond at any hour, in any terrain. The Foundation exists to make sure those volunteers never have to choose between answering a call and affording the equipment to do it safely.
As a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, every donation to the Foundation is tax-deductible to the full extent allowed by law. Contributions go straight to the gear, training, and education that keep search and rescue in Cochise County ready.
