The Prairie Foundation

• The filing names no particular charitable field as a priority, so fit depends mainly on location: the stated geographic focus is Midland, Odessa and Laredo, and the San Francisco Bay Area (Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin and 6 more counties in California).
• Its grants are mostly modest, with a typical band of $5,000 to $45,000, a median of $10,000 and half of its 182 grants at $10,000 or less, so a request of around $10,000 is realistic.
• Applications are rolling, but the foundation considers them in April and October, and it asks for a pre-application using the Common Grant Application Standard Forms.
• Repeat giving is strong, with 79% of its grant dollars going to organisations it had also funded in its earlier filings, so a first request may face established relationships, though that is no reason not to apply.
