The Pleasantville Youth Initiative was selected as a recipient of a 2024 Prairie Meadows Community Betterment Grant for $10,000. The funds received from the grant will help the Youth Initiative better support, serve, and improve quality of life in the community. Prairie Meadows Community Betterment Grants fund small-to-medium sized projects with grants ranging from $100 to $99,999. These grants support qualified organizations seeking to improve the lives of those in their communities. This is the second grant provided by Prairie Meadows in the community this year, as Pleasantville Emergency Services received a Community Betterment Grant last month for $38,750 to purchase new firefighter protective gear.
