PRAIRIE CITY – A little under $18,000 has been awarded from the state to go toward renovations at the Prairie City Senior Center. The Oregon Community Foundation announced the funding through their Community Grants program.

$17,744 will be dedicated to support the congregate facility renovation, benefitting senior citizens in Grant County.

According to OCF, “The Fall 2026 Community Grants support a wide range of causes Oregonians care about: arts and culture, economic vitality, a healthy environment, housing, education and culturally responsive work. Community Grants is Oregon Community Foundation’s broadest competitive grant program and often serves as an entry point to philanthropy for nonprofits seeking support from foundations.”

The foundation is investing more than $5.3 million across 259 organizations for this round of funding.
