The Megan Meier Foundation was founded by Tina Meier in 2007 after her daughter, Megan Meier, tragically took her own life following a severe cyberbullying attack. Tina has committed to preventing this type of tragedy by raising awareness and educating young people and educators across the nation. Thirteen million children are bullied every year, and the Megan Meier Foundation makes a significant positive impact on the lives of those who are impacted by raising awareness and providing the appropriate tools and strategies youth, parents, and educators need to combat these prevalent issues.

The Lafayette County Children’s Services Fund Board of Directors is a group of nine (9) individuals, from Lafayette County, that are passionate about the well-being and safety of our county children. They govern a special tax fund as a provision of a 1/8 cent sales tax, specifically to be used for services to Lafayette County children and families. The mission of the LCCSF Board is to provide quality, comprehensive training and services to protect the well-being and safety of children and youth 19 years of age or less and to strengthen families. Their vision is to create a community where all children and their families can reach their full potential in a supportive and nurturing environment.
