NOFF Helping Firefighters and Ohio Families

Who We Serve

Starting as a division of NOFF, Inc., the foundation for NOFF Charities was established in 1966. A desire to expand NOFF’s charitable contributions resulted in the formation of NOFF Charities, as it exists today.

Since its inception, NOFF Charities has helped countless Ohio families, and has contributed millions of dollars in financial aid to both organizations and individuals. We provide support in many ways, including but not limited to:

  • Helping firefighters who are facing debilitating diseases
  • Assisting local families displaced by fire
  • Providing financial support for children battling cancer
  • Ongoing financial contributions to the Cleveland Metro Burn Unit
