The Prouty Project of Eden Prairie was awarded a Meaningful Capitalism Award this month during a reception at the Metropolitan Ballroom in Golden Valley.
The second annual Meaningful Capitalism Awards celebrates Minnesota business leaders who are successful at growing and running financially sustainable businesses and doing so in ways that tangibly benefit individuals, families and communities.

The awards are a production of business advisory firm Platinum Group, partly in honor of founder Dean Bachelor, who died in 2021. The award distinguishes companies that live out “Meaningful Capitalism” by being consistently profitable; proactive in helping their employees become better people and grow professionally; donating a portion of their profits to improve the lives of individuals and/or organizations that promote dignity and respect for people and vibrant, healthy communities; balancing well the competing interests of the various stakeholder groups; and providing products and services that enable the community to flourish.
The Prouty Project is a management and consultant firm with a focus on strategic planning and leadership development. Its headquarters are located at 6385 Old Shady Oak Road in Eden Prairie.
