Mission

By First Responders for First Responders

Our mission is to deliver empowering financial education and comprehensive support tailored to the unique demands of first responders. We honor the sacrifices you make by promoting holistic well-being—integrating the Fulfillment Formula of Faith, Family, Fitness, Finance, and Fun into every aspect of our approach. By strengthening financial literacy and confidence, we help first responders make informed decisions about budgeting, saving, investing, and long-term planning—ensuring security for your future and resilience for the communities you protect.

Our values are the backbone of our service. Integrity, Collaboration, Innovation, and Accountability define how we operate, lead, and support those who serve on the front lines. These principles shape our commitment to excellence, build trust, and foster a culture where growth, respect, and purpose are at the forefront.
At our core, we believe financial education is a powerful form of empowerment. By equipping first responders and their families with the tools and knowledge needed to navigate today’s financial challenges, we help build strong foundations for a stable, thriving, and fulfilling future.

Statistics

Over 80% of first responders report experiencing significant financial stress, driven by rising living costs, unpredictable schedules, and limited access to tailored financial resources.

Nearly 1 in 3 first responders works a second job to supplement income, contributing to burnout and reduced personal and family time.

60% say their financial worries negatively impact their mental health, increasing stress levels both on and off duty.

More than half of first responders feel unprepared for retirement, citing lack of financial education, inconsistent savings habits, or uncertainty around pension and benefit structures.

Unexpected medical expenses and long-term care needs are among the top financial concerns, with many stating they feel underprepared to manage out-of-pocket costs.

47% report difficulty building emergency savings, despite high-risk work environments that often demand strong financial readiness.

testimonies

"I trusted GFI with my own family's financial future. As a client, I saw firsthand the integrity and power of their solutions. That experience gave me the confidence to join their team as a licensed GFI agent. Now, I am proud and excited to be a part of the specialized First Responders Division. This new focus allows us to provide targeted, effective, GFI strategies directly to the heroes in our communities, ensuring they receive the expert protection and opportunity they deserve."

- Jacob Forston

Fire Chief, CWO3 USMC (Ret)

"Being in the military as a firefighter, I witnessed different people talking about how great their variable accounts were. I always knew there were different options that would give high rates of return with guaranteed no loss of money; however, I didn't know how to gain more information about them until I was connected with GFI. They've helped my family be able to be covered in case the worst happens and now we have a plan to retire earlier with more assets that we ever thought of. Now that I'm a part of the First Responders Division, I am able to help families acquire the same guarantees on their own investments."

- Isaac Jancouskas

Fire Captain, SSgt USAF (Sep)

"In 2014 while working as active duty Sheriff's Deputy, my wife was diagnosed with Stage 4 Breast Cancer. The amount of stress while on the job and her subsequent passing made me realize how important protection for your family really is.

I became involved with this division through Global Financial Impact (GFI) to help other First Responders to prepare and protect their families, should the unthinkable happen. I'm proud to be associated with some of the finest active duty and former First Responders to help make this happen and to always ensure that those who run towards danger first, will have someone looking out for them."

-Mark Garcia

Retired Sheriff's Deputy

"One of the biggest reasons I'm passionate about what we do is simple, we bring peace of mind when life throws the unexpected at us. First Responders step into risk every single day, and none of us truly know what tomorrow holds. I see too many heroes having to ask for help after something happens. The reality is we can put safeguards in place long before that day ever comes. Protecting ourselves and the ones we love isn't just wise, it's part of honoring the work we do and the people who count on us."

- Lisandro Lopez

Retired Sheriffs Deputy

"FRD is a revolutionary movement that we've created. I lived the life, I wore the badge and I felt the weight. This division will open doors that were never built for us.... financial doors, legacy doors, GENERATIONAL DOORS! And now, through this division, we can walk through them together!"
