Prairie’s Guide to Philanthropy

What does your support really mean at Prairie? The answer may reach further, and have a greater impact, than you realize. As a nonprofit, Prairie relies on philanthropic support to sustain our programs and community. The Prairie Fund provides 10% of the funding for each and every area of the school. Additionally, nearly 50% of our students rely on the scholarship program to create access to a Prairie education.

You can make a meaningful difference at Prairie, whether by making a financial gift, sharing your time, or offering your talents. The best part? There’s no one-size-fits-all way to get involved. Explore this guide to discover the many ways your generosity and involvement can enrich the student experience, and find the opportunities that are right for you and your family.

The Prairie Fund supports the school’s greatest needs and priorities. With a focus on participation, gifts of every size provide flexible, immediate support for the student experience. When you choose to make a contribution, you can specify where your gift goes, creating a connection between your interests and the priorities of the school.
