Our Cause
Community is one of the fundamental values of Prairie Proud and we have made a commitment to invest back into prairie-based causes as part of our business. We believe in doing our part to make the prairies a better place to live today and tomorrow in supporting causes across Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. Our contributions are based on the following model and are announced via social media & our website.
