Grow Communities gives eligible farmers the chance to win a $2,500 donation for their favorite local nonprofit organizations. Last year, the largest percentage of Grow Communities funding was directed to local fire departments. The Monsanto Fund invested a total of $612,500 in 245 rural fire departments across the country.
North Dakota received $30,000 for 12 fire departments, including the Fullerton Fire Department and Lehr Fire Department.
Through Nov. 30, farmers can apply at www.growcommunities.com or call 1-877-267-3332 to apply by phone.
“Supporting rural America is our priority,” said Deborah Patterson, Monsanto Fund president. “We understand that the safety of these rural communities depends so much on the strength of its local fire department. We are proud and honored to give back to firefighters, and I am delighted to see so many farmers directing donations this way.”
