About the Injured Officers Assistance Fund
The Injured Officers Assistance Fund (”IOAF”) was created by businessman Michael Fux in 2008. Recognizing the hardships that police officers face if they are seriously injured on-duty, Mr. Fux started this foundation that will help officers overcome this predicament. While there are multiple sources of assistance for fallen officers, there is a lack of support for those who have endured nearly fatal, debilitating injuries that have kept them and sometimes their care takers off the job for an extended period of time.
The IOAF seeks to grow the fund by building support from businesses and individuals who recognize the sacrifices made by the men and women of Greater Miami’s police departments to ensure the safety of the community. The IOAF is a registered 501(3)(c) charity.
