The Foundation for Rural Service (FRS), the philanthropic arm of NTCA–The Rural Broadband Association, announced the recipients of 36 Community Grants totaling nearly $170,000 — the largest number of grants and greatest total annual allocation in its history — to close out the foundation’s 30th anniversary year. These grants will support a wide variety of projects aimed at improving the quality of life across rural communities served by NTCA members.
Polar Communications is pleased to announce Love One Another Now (L.O.A.N.) in Cavalier, ND, as one of these grant recipients. Love One Another Now received $5,000 to provide winter clothing, including jackets, hats, and boots, for students in Pembina County schools.
“We are proud to support local organizations such as L.O.A.N. and their amazing work,” said Polar CEO Karl Blake. “As a member partner of FRS, we are pleased to contribute to their award amount.”
“We are grateful and proud to have achieved a new record in our support for rural communities during this anniversary year,” said FRS Executive Director Pam Becker. “The work these organizations do in their communities is nothing short of inspiring, and it’s an honor to partner with NTCA members to help make these projects a reality. I can’t think of a better way to celebrate the 30th anniversary of FRS than to award the largest ever number of grants to deserving organizations served by NTCA members. I would like to thank our donors for making this possible.”
