Polar Communications is a member of the Rural Development Finance Corporation (RDFC). As a result, organizations in our service area are eligible to apply for a grant of up to $2,000 for community-based projects. RDFC is making these funds available to help more people become aware of its larger loan programs that finance community-based projects as well as small business start-up and expansion projects with low interest loans.
RDFC recently granted $1,000 to Arthur Volunteer Fire Department to assist with purchasing new firefighter turnout gear.
Another $1,000 grant went to the Niagara Rural Fire Protection District. Grant funds will be used to assist with the purchase of new helmets, bunker gear and boots.
For an RDFC application, assistance, or questions, please contact RDFC Executive Director Ellen Huber at 701-667-6444 or [email protected].
