Its giving concentrates on capital projects for parks, ballfields, rodeo arenas, and motorsports/track facilities, frequently supporting the same municipal and community recreation organizations.

    About Mandan Parks and Recreation Foundation

    A $861,550 grant to Mandan Park District for Mandan Rodeo Arena construction stands out as the clearest signal of how the Mandan Parks and Recreation Foundation funds: through large, project-specific awards tied to local recreation infrastructure. The foundation’s recent grants show a steady commitment to facilities that shape community sports and events in Mandan, from rodeo venues to tennis and ballpark projects. Its largest awards are directed to public-facing capital work rather than operating support, and the same municipal recreation entities appear repeatedly in the record, suggesting long-term involvement in major buildouts. That pattern is visible in additional awards to Mandan Park District for Mandan Tennis Center construction and ballpark work, as well as support for naming and facility improvements at community sports sites. The foundation also backed a rodeo facility effort for Mandan Rodeo Days and an RC track construction project for Bis-man Stock Car Association. Across these grants, the funder supports places where residents gather for athletics, recreation, and local events, with giving centered on buildings, courts, arenas, and other physical assets that serve the community.

    What Mandan Parks and Recreation Foundation Funds

    Rodeo and arena projects are a major thread in the foundation’s giving. It awarded $250,000 to Mandan Rodeo Days for a rodeo facility, then gave $89,100 to Mandan Park District for Mandan Rodeo Arena construction. Tennis and ballfield infrastructure also appear in the record. Mandan Park District received $195,478 in 2024 and $102,366 in 2025 for Mandan Tennis Center construction, along with $15,990 in 2024 for ballpark work. The foundation also supports smaller facility-specific improvements. It gave $9,900 in 2025 to Mandan Park District for Starion Sports Complex naming, and $6,626 in 2024 to Bis-man Stock Car Association for RC track construction.

    How Mandan Parks and Recreation Foundation Gives

    Grant sizes range from a first quartile of $11,422 to a median of $66,824 and a third quartile of $172,200, showing a portfolio shaped by mid-sized and larger capital awards. The recent record includes repeated grants to the same recipients across multiple years, especially Mandan Park District, which appears in several facility projects from 2023 through 2025. The foundation’s profile and grant history point to a local, place-based grantmaker rather than an open-ended or national funder. Its active programs also show matching grants and donation requests, including unsolicited requests for park and recreation support.
