SUPPORT OUR WORK
Investing in prevention-led change that reduces harm before it escalates
Funding upstream and midstream action for fairer systems and healthier communities
Why Support Prevention
When harm is addressed only at crisis point, the human and public cost is already high. Prevention offers a more effective, equitable, and sustainable alternative.
By acting upstream and midstream, AFF Missions SCIO focuses resources where they have the greatest long-term impact — on the conditions and systems that shape wellbeing.
Supporting prevention is not about short-term fixes. It is about investing in fairer systems that reduce avoidable harm over time.
