Prairie Meadows provides a $250,000 grant to support the Colfax-Mingo Childcare Center

Prairie Meadows recently awarded Colfax Economic Development Corporation (CEDCO) a $250,000 legacy grant. The grant will help fund the construction of the Colfax-Mingo Childcare Center. The $3.4 million new childcare facility will be able to accommodate up to 140 children and is anticipated to create at least 20 new jobs

"CEDCO is deeply grateful to Prairie Meadows for their generous grant, which brings us one step closer to building a much-needed childcare center. This support not only strengthens our fundraising efforts, but also promises a lasting impact on families and the future of our community," said Tim Salmon, Vice President, CEDCO.

Prairie Meadows supports Iowa nonprofit organizations that support arts and culture, education, economic development, and human services. Since 1996, Prairie Meadows has contributed more than $2.2 billion through taxes and charitable giving to support economic development, agriculture, job creation, and tourism in the state of Iowa.
