PrairieCare Fund

Our mission is to transform lives by fostering mental health and well-being among youth and families.

Established in 2016 in the Twin Cities to support the promotion of child and family health and wellness through the provision of grants for mental health.

05/21/2026

For 10 years, the PrairieCare Fund has believed in one powerful idea: when we invest in mental health, we invest in the future of our communities. Today, we are incredibly proud to celebrate a decade of impact across Minnesota schools.

Through the generosity of our donors, partners, and supporters, the PrairieCare Fund has granted more than $1.7 million to support school-based mental health programs and initiatives — helping reach over 100,000 students and staff throughout Minnesota.

These grants have helped schools create safe spaces, expand mental health resources, build resilience, reduce stigma, and ensure students and educators have the support they need to thrive.

This milestone is about more than numbers. It’s about the student who felt seen. The educator who gained tools to support struggling youth. The school community that learned healing and connection matter.

None of this would be possible without the incredible people who have supported our mission over the last 10 years. Thank you for believing that mental health support should be accessible, proactive, and rooted in community.

As we look toward the next decade, the need continues to grow — and so does our commitment to supporting Minnesota schools and the young people they serve.

If you believe every student deserves access to mental health support, we invite you to celebrate our 10-year anniversary with a gift today. Together, we can continue creating healthier schools, stronger communities, and brighter futures.

Donate today and help us continue this life-changing work.

We are incredibly grateful to EVEREVE for hosting such a powerful and meaningful fundraiser on April 28th. Through your generosity, 15% of all shopper proceeds were donated back to PrairieCare Fund, directly supporting important mental health initiatives and making a lasting impact in our community.

A special and heartfelt thank you to our dedicated board member, Barbara, for bringing this event to life through her leadership and commitment. We are also so thankful to Natalia — the crowned Miss River Valley Teen Queen and proud self-proclaimed OCD Queen — for attending, sharing her story, and helping raise awareness in such an authentic and inspiring way.

We are truly inspired by this partnership and already look forward to coming together again this Fall for another incredible event.

We are overflowing with gratitude!

A heartfelt THANK YOU to the Kraus-Anderson Community Foundation for their incredibly generous gift of $45,000 in support of PrairieCare Fund and Minnesota schools. This meaningful contribution will help us continue expanding access to mental health resources for students across our communities.

These funds were raised during their amazing Sporting Change Pickleball Tournament — an event that truly embodied the power of community. Seeing people come together in support of youth mental health was inspiring beyond words. We are honored to be one of the beneficiaries alongside the LIVIN Foundation .

Because of the Kraus-Anderson Community Foundation’s generosity, we can continue making a lasting impact in Minnesota schools — supporting students, strengthening families, and building healthier communities.

Partnerships like this make all the difference, and we are so grateful to walk alongside an organization that cares so deeply about mental health.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your partnership, your belief in our mission, and this extraordinary gift!

PrairieCare Fund is deeply alarmed by the increased ICE activity in Minnesota and the harm it is causing to the mental and emotional well-being of our communities. The presence of aggressive enforcement creates fear, retraumatization, and instability — conditions that are fundamentally incompatible with mental health, safety, and healing.

We know that when families live under surveillance, threat, or uncertainty, the psychological impact is real and lasting. Anxiety, depression, trauma responses, and suicidal ideation rise. Children, immigrants, and marginalized communities bear the greatest burden.

We believe community safety is rooted in care, dignity, and access to support — not fear. We stand with those who are impacted and affirm that mental health is a human right.

If you or someone you love is struggling due to stress or trauma related to these events, help is available. Minnesota-based mental health, trauma, and crisis resources are linked here https://www.prairiecarefund.org/resources.html

As we look ahead to the New Year, we do so with optimism and resolve. We are inspired daily by the generosity of our community and grounded in the shared belief that investing in youth mental health strengthens families, communities, and the future of Minnesota. Your continued partnership fuels our commitment to expand access, deepen impact, and stand alongside those who need us most.

From all of us on the PrairieCare Fund Board of Directors, thank you for your trust, your advocacy, and your unwavering support. We are profoundly grateful to walk this journey with you.

May this holiday season bring you peace, warmth, and moments of joy, and may the New Year be filled with hope, health, and continued compassion.
