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 since committed to preventing this type of tragedy by helping other students, families, schools, and communities affected by bullying-related issues. The Megan Meier Foundation seeks to impact the nearly 13 million children bullied every year through programs aimed at understanding the issues surrounding bullying and cyberbullying, their prevalence and impact, as well as provide prevention and post-intervention techniques, resources, and support.
Since 2008, the Megan Meier Foundation has provided 1,200 presentations and 150 community outreach events throughout the country, reaching more than 585,000 students, parents, and educators. In the past ten years, the Foundation has led 22 leadership workshops in the St. Louis Metropolitan area serving more than 135,000 middle school and high school students and sponsors, which resulted in increased pro-social behaviors.
Our Mission: "To Support and Inspire Actions to End Bullying, Cyberbullying, and Suicide."
Our Vision: "To live in a world where bullying and cyberbullying no longer exist."
We believe that through empowering our society to celebrate individuality and the acceptance of others, that we can work together to make a difference and create a safer and kinder world.
