FISA Foundation Funds PCADV's Prevention EffortsPCADV is pleased to announce that the FISA Foundation has awarded a $30,000 grant to the Coalition for an innovative Primary Prevention Initiative in southwestern Pennsylvania. These grant funds will enable us to lead community-wide discussions and strategies to engage schools, parents and community leaders as active prevention partners, PCADV Executive Director Peg Dierkers said. Through awareness education and concerted community action, we can prevent domestic violence against women and girls. The mission of the FISA Foundation is to build a culture of respect and improve the quality of life for three populations in southwestern Pennsylvania: women, girls and people with disabilities. For 100 years, FISA has been led by women and has focused on responding to unmet community needs.
