Fire safety for all
is only possible together
Real change happens when people, science, and systems connect. Kindling builds those connections to make safety possible for everyone.
No single actor can solve this alone
Lasting fire safety requires more than technical solutions – it depends on trust, shared purpose, and systems that connect people who don’t usually work together.
Kindling builds those bridges: linking science with lived experience, local action with policy change, and short-term response with long-term resilience.
Join the movement for fire safety for all
Whether you’re a funder, a technical expert, a community partner, or an individual champion, there are many ways to help make fire safety possible for all.
Your partnership powers every part of Kindling’s mission, from research and learning to advocacy and practice.
Technical Partners
Advance the science of fire safety. Collaborate with Kindling on research, modeling, experiments, or data analysis — translating evidence into action across cities and humanitarian settings.
Implementation Partners
Integrate fire safety into your programs. Kindling co-designs fire risk assessments, education initiatives, and response strategies with local partners, strengthening resilience from the ground up.
Funders & Foundations
Invest in the systems that keep people safe. Your support sustains our work, helping us innovate, learn, and scale solutions where they’re needed most.
Donors & Champions
Fuel the movement for fire safety for all. Your donation helps us share life-saving knowledge, strengthen local action, and grow a global network of people building safer communities.
Collaboration that creates change
Each partnership connects directly to one or more of Kindling’s four impact pathways — Research, Learning, Practice, and Advocacy.
These pathways link technical work to social impact, and global research to local action.
