Our story
Why the Foundation exists
The Foundation grew out of graduate research at the University of Calgary on protecting Canadian seniors from cyber fraud. Shah Zaib and Harshad Krishnaraj co-authored a paper on education, awareness, and policy solutions for seniors facing online fraud.
That work was recognized through the National Student Paper Competition. After the competition and public service conversations in Ottawa, the founders wanted to turn research into something practical for everyday Canadians.
The result is a Calgary-based non-profit focused on clear education, community awareness, and policy advocacy. The goal is simple: make scam prevention easier to understand and easier to share.
