The Art on the Prairie Committee received $7,200 Monday night at the 11th meeting of the 100+ People for Perry donors club.
The committee’s “Art on the Prairie: Furrowed Fields” project was chosen over two other randomly selected projects, each of which was pitched by a member of 100+ People for Perry.
A project summary was provided by the May recipient, the Nudgers property developers group.
One Hundred+ People for Perry’s mission is to invest in Perry’s future by supporting current charities, non-profits and other worthy projects that advance the quality of life. Since its founding, the group has contributed $73,200 to 11 local projects.
The group makes four large donations each year, and each gift stays 100 percent in the local community. No national charities are be considered. Each recipient must be a 501 (c)(3) or sponsored by a 501 (c)(3), be project based and must benefit the Perry community.
All community members are welcome to attend, and new projects worth considering are always welcome.
The next 100+ People for Perry meeting is scheduled for Monday, Nov. 26 at 7 p.m., with a social hour starting at 6:30 p.m., at the La Post LLC.
