Grand View University has received a $99,999 grant from Prairie Meadows Racetrack and Casino through its 2009 Community Betterment Grant Program. The Des Moines-based university will use the grant to help fund the new Rasmussen Center for Community Advancement Professions, which opened in fall 2008 at the corner of East 14th Street and Grandview Avenue. The center houses academic programs in art, education, history, criminal justice and other subjects that are specifically intended for students to learn how to give back to the community. Prairie Meadows also donated $99,999 for the center in March 2008, and over the past 10 years has contributed more than $500,000 to the university.
