- Promote the well-being
of young men, women, and children whose lives have been affected by
domestic violence, and to reduce the prevalence of domestic violence
through increased service provision, education, and awareness. - Improve the quality of
life of families with a member or members in prison, through the provision
of services responsive to their needs. - Provide young people
who are or have been involved with the criminal justice system with a
rehabilitation program designed to
obtain the skills, confidence, and personal support networks to enable
them to lead fulfilled and successful lives.
The foundation

- The
Small Grants Program offers one-time grants of up to $5,000 to registered
charities with an annual budget under $500,000. - The
