Prairieaction Foundation

Who We Are Many Perspectives, One Vision. Changing the Story Our “why” at Prairieaction Foundation is rooted in the difficult reality that thousands of Canadians face everyday. We exist for those who have ever experienced fear, uncertainty or harm in their homes or communities. Our work is for those who have believed that no one cared or that nothing is being done, or who feel that there was no way out of an abusive situation. Our very existence is because we believe that together we can take action and break the cycle of abuse and violence for those who experience it, and ultimately change this narrative. For more than 20 years, the Prairieaction Foundation has been working to change the story of violence and abuse in the Canadian prairies. Through cooperative relationships and collegial partnerships, we’ve engaged in healthy debate and respectful controversy. We have funded research that is responsive to diverse community needs, seeking results in culturally-appropriate solutions, and promoting change. We have embraced open communication with integrity and accountability. We believe that education and information lead to empowerment, and we will continue working towards finding solutions that build a future that is free of violence and abuse.
