As a not-for-profit organization, we are dedicated to transforming the lives of those living in Central Iowa. When Prairie Meadows began operations in 1989 as a private/public partnership with Polk County, the company envisioned a long-term goal of promoting economic development, jobs, agriculture, and tourism for the state of Iowa. Year after year, we work toward this goal, and 2017 was no different.

I am pleased to announce that we had a record-breaking year in giving. From supporting the arts to funding numerous park programs to helping fight hunger in Polk County, Prairie Meadows continued our commitment to revitalizing and strengthening the Greater Des Moines area. Best of all, the projects that we are so proud to support and fund will serve our communities for many years to come.

Our dedicated team at Prairie Meadows has come together to build something unique – a culture of compassion, collaboration, and commitment. I am very grateful to work for this company, and with such talented people.
