Prospect Foundation

Our mission is to give back to the local communities of our families. We support opportunities for education and relief for emerging needs, encouraging personal connections through donations and service.

The Prospect Foundation is a private, independent family foundation that was established in 2019 by Ron and Jenny Menning, who along with their children and spouses, serve as trustees.  

Recognizing that our family is better when we work together to help others, and wishing to instill a philanthropic spirit in our future generations, we commit our time, talent, and financial resources to serve people and communities in need.

Non-profit organizations that qualify for public charity status under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code or other similar organizations are eligible for grants from The Prospect Foundation.
