What I liked best about working with PRAXIS was the interactive nature of the process, all the hands-on activities, and the thought provoking discussion and dialogue.

For the Public Good
PRAXIS is committed, through its principles and actions, to social responsibility and community engagement and to the improvement of programs and services for the public good. PRAXIS donates many hours to help build community capacity and sustainability and to improve access to services and their delivery.
Once a year applications for proposals are accepted from local organizations or community groups to help build their evaluation capacity. Several awards are given each year to organizations and community groups intent on assessing the effectiveness of their work but having limited financial capacity to do so. Deadline for applications is September 15th. Awardees will be notified by October 1st.
