Legacy-funding is at the cornerstone of Prairie Public’s mission to educate, inform and enlighten the people of Northwest Minnesota. Our passion is creating high caliber content about Minnesota’s history, culture and people, in hopes of creating empathy and understanding among communities. Programs like Prairie Mosaic and Prairie Musicians celebrate the potential and talent throughout Minnesota’s prairie region. The impact of these resources will live on for years to come as residents become more aware of the cultural treasures that exist around them and more readily attend functions and events supporting this infrastructure within our state.
“The programming for arts, culture, and history are of great value for our community. We must always continue to learn of our past in order to move forward and we must learn about different cultures in order to admire them and embrace them.” –MPTA Survey respondent
