Don’t think that this cant happen to you
The rising prevalence of fentanyl in illicit drug markets has led to a surge in deaths. Many users are unaware they are consuming fentanyl, as it is often mixed with other substances. This website aims to provide critical information to help individuals recognize, understand, and respond to the dangers associated with fentanyl.
Our mission is clear: we must work tirelessly to prevent addiction, provide support to those in need, and advocate for changes that address the root causes of this crisis.

The Drue Isaac Foundation was birthed out of the senseless death of a bright young woman who was full of life. She took a pill and never woke up. I don’t want this to happen to another person’s child, sister, aunt, or friend. I don’t want another family to get the horrible news that they never get to talk to their loved one again. It’s a deep, corrosive grief that no one should experience.
Donating money is helpful, but we can also use boots on the ground. The Drue Isaac Foundation sponsors people going into the community in Minneapolis and St. Paul to talk to people with active substance use disorder to offer help and resources. Meeting people where they are to build relationships and hopefully show them recovery is possible. The Drue Isaac Foundation also holds annual events for awareness in the community.
Your generous donation will support crucial awareness programs designed to educate the public, empower individuals to recognize the signs of fentanyl use, and provide vital resources for prevention and treatment.
