Project Pride

Application Criteria

PROJECT PRIDE is a community investment program offered through Prairie Pride Credit Union. On an annual basis, we will accept applications from community groups or organizations within our trading area who are requesting funding in an effort to build, expand and/or improve facilities and/or programs which support the development of our communities. PROJECT PRIDE will focus on supporting capital projects or one-time investments as opposed to annual operating costs.

PROJECT PRIDE intends to grant the funding to one group, project or program each year. However, depending on the number and nature of the applications that we receive, funding may be split between two or more worthwhile projects.

    Community and economic development
    2. Youth and education
    3. Health and human services
