Protecting Montana Children from Child Abuse

Did you know that 16 out of every 1,000 children are abused each year in Montana? This staggering and heartbreaking statistic drove a group of mothers from Fairfield, Montana, to establish 1000 in Action, a nonprofit that strives to raise awareness and funds targeted to support local charities providing services that protect children and combat abuse. This volunteer-driven organization offers a way for people who care about the well-being of children to pool their charitable contributions together to help make a huge difference.
​
GOAL: 1,000 INDIVIDUALS TO DONATE $100 A YEAR = $100,000 A YEAR
If 1000 in Action met its goal each year, it would be able to donate $100,000 to charities that work to protect children each year, helping alleviate major costs that come their way.
