Making an IMPACT in Minnesota ​communities.

The statistics are staggering: Suicide remains the second leading cause of death among ages 10 to 25, and 1 in 5 adolescents will experience a severe episode of mental illness, with 55% of those diagnosed with severe depression going untreated.
 
Since 2016, PrairieCare Fund has made significant strides in supporting Minnesota communities by awarding over $1.6 million in granted funds to schools and nonprofits. These grants provide vital resources such as general mental health education, embedding mental health curriculum within classrooms, suicide prevention initiatives, creating calm spaces, and much more.
 
Despite these efforts, there is still a significant $5.7 million gap in funding. Your support can help us continue our mission to make a lasting impact on youth mental health in Minnesota. Together, we can work towards a future where every young person has access to the mental health resources and support they need to thrive. Join us in creating positive change today.

“We are seeing an explosion of mental health concerns and needs in the school system. We do not have the personnel to handle these needs. Programs like this, and grant funding, is instrumental and essential in helping students address their mental health needs and introducing them to resilience and how it can help their success in school."
