The Prairie Fund

What is the Prairie Fund?

Our annual giving program that supports the school’s greatest needs and priorities.

Why is the Prairie Fund Important?

When you make a gift, it provides immediate, flexible support for the people, programs, and facilities that make Prairie exceptional. 10% of Prairie’s overall budget is covered by the Prairie Fund, meaning everything your child experiences is impacted.

Did You Know: Prairie operates as a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. Unlike a for-profit business, Prairie does not have owners or shareholders receiving profits.

Tuition and philanthropic support are invested back into the school and its mission: to know, value, support and challenge every student to be their best self.

How Can I Participate?

Make a contribution that is meaningful to your and your family. It’s not about the size of the gift – it’s about participation. Joining in and saying ‘yes’ to maintaining the most dynamic student experience possible.

Gifts in 2025-26 Made These Possible:

Current parents are an important part of Prairie’s culture of philanthropy, but many have questions about what giving can or should look like. Visit our Parent Giving page to learn more about common misconceptions, and see what our current participation looks like!
