Civic Commitment

Often those most in need of economic assistance are least able to afford it. For this reason Prager selectively consults pro bono. Assistance tends to be for discrete, concrete services and for a finite period. Past examples include: helping the Navajo Nation identify investment opportunities in spite of their remoteness and economic strife; and preparing an Illinois city for life after the impending closure of its largest employer. Prager also occasionally helps struggling communities procure grants from economic development-minded foundations and sympathetic government organizations.
