Prairie Co-op was built to serve, grow and invest in our community. That’s why we return our profits to local members and support the causes that matter to you. If you’re making a difference in our community through a non-profit, charitable organization, or community group, we welcome your application to one of our local community support programs.

Please read the following Sponsorship and Donation Guidelines below, prior to filling out your online application to ensure that you are eligible.  A complete, printable version can be found here. 

The following guidelines have been implemented by Prairie Co-op:

1. Large annual donations will be considered by the Board of Directors at their annual planning meeting.  Large requests (over $3,000) received after that meeting will be considered on a quarterly basis. 
2. Third-party fundraising requests will be declined.
3. Contributions in-kind, including gift cards, will be made in lieu of cash whenever possible.
4. Co-op signs, banners, posters, or other promotional material will be displayed at sponsored events whenever possible.  Pictures of your event will also be requested.  
5. Religious organizations, with the exception of secular activities open to those of all faiths, such as operating a shelter or a group program, will be declined.  
6. Requests by, or for individuals, political organizations, advocacy groups, for-profit organizations, organizations that represent a conflict of interest for Prairie Co-op, organizations involved in promoting controversial issues that are not in alignment with our values or guiding statements will be declined.
7. Individual teams or small sports organizations that do not benefit a significant portion of our community will not be considered.  Teams that are for the benefit of an under-represented portion of our community may be considered.
8. Telephone solicitations will not be considered. 
9. We support causes that are in the Prairie Co-op trading area. We do not consider applications for groups or projects outside of our trading area that can be helped by their local Co-op.
10. We support organizations that are loyal to Prairie Co-op. Either the organization or group, or individuals involved with the group must have a Prairie Co-op number.
