About Utah Guns & Hoses Charity Inc.
A Utah-based 501(c)(3) organization rooted in the Guns & Hoses tradition of supporting police, firefighters, and their families.
Who We Are
Utah Guns & Hoses Charity Inc. (EIN 81-4165430) is recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as a tax-exempt organization. Our legal name and mailing address appear on federal Form 990-N (e-Postcard) filings, including tax year 2019 and prior years.
The “Guns & Hoses” name reflects a nationwide tradition of friendly competition between police (“Guns”) and firefighters (“Hoses”) to raise money for charitable causes. In Utah, that tradition has included high-profile charity hockey games at the Maverik Center in West Valley City, where officers and firefighters skate for community benefit—often raising thousands of dollars annually for families in need.
What We Support
Our charitable purpose aligns with supporting:
- Families of Utah law enforcement officers and firefighters facing hardship
- Community programs tied to first-responder charitable events
- Partner causes historically associated with Utah Guns & Hoses fundraisers, such as burn-injury programs, cancer support, and children’s charities
Specific grant and assistance decisions are made by the organization's leadership in accordance with our governing documents and applicable law.
