Create an account and sign in
A free account keeps your gifts and tax receipts in one place, saves your emergency preparedness plan and lets you ask to join Blockwatch. There are two ways to make one: with a link we email you, or with a password.

Give to the Foundation
Give online in a minute, once or every month or year, to the fund you choose. We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, so every gift gets a tax receipt by email, and with a free account your gifts, receipts and year-end statements stay in one place.
Your account page
Your account page keeps what is yours in one place: your gifts and tax documents, your store orders, your emergency preparedness plan, your Blockwatch, your email choices, and your profile and photo. Everything on it is private to you and the Foundation.

Email from the Foundation
We have two email lists: our newsletter, and now and then special offers, invitations to events and the occasional appeal. We add you only after you confirm your address, and every email has a link to stop them.

Join Blockwatch
Blockwatch is neighbors looking out for each other, one province at a time. Find your province, ask to join it with a free account, and once one of its volunteers confirms that you live there, you see who leads it and how your neighbors keep in touch.
Your preparedness plan
Our emergency preparedness and Blockwatch guide has three checklists and a contact card you can fill in as you go. Signed in, they are saved to your account as your preparedness plan, private to you, with a household plan added and a paper copy to print for your emergency kit.

The store
Our patches, hats and more, with every purchase supporting our work with the Normandy Park Police Department. Buy with or without an account, and have your order shipped anywhere in the United States, or pick it up when the store offers pickup.
Events and the calendar
Our fundraisers, Shop with a Cop and community gatherings are listed on the home page and on our events page. Each event has its own page with the time, the place and how to take part, and you can keep one event, or every event we post, in your own calendar.

Documents and records
Our documents library holds our annual reports, tax filings, meeting minutes, flyers and other records. Anyone can browse the list, and a free account opens the files. The bylaws and the preparedness guide are on the site for anyone to read, with their PDFs for account holders.
