What Friends of Prairie Moon does
Mission
Host visitors from May 1 to October 1 - school groups, bus tours, motorcycle and car tours. Educate the people on the different type of rock sculpture as there are four different examples on the property. Take care of the general maintenance and get volunteers to plant flowers and take care of them, sometimes the FFA students, sometimes others.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
A $5000 grant was given to the Fountain City Business Group, to help fund a bandshell in the park. Twice a month during the summer, the FCBG is hosting music and food trucks, to encourage people to bring their lawn chairs to the park, have something to eat and listen to music. And the music is sponsored by various businesses. Hopefully, the bandshell will be an attraction and the band concerts will be a permanent event in the area.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $20k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
