Nashua School District Awarded Rural Community Grant from Northwest Farm Credit Services

Northwest Farm Credit Services has awarded the Nashua School District a $1,500 Northwest FCS Rural Community Grant to help replace their playground equipment.

"Much of the playground equipment on our playground is outdated, thus becoming a safety concern," said Nashua School District Superintendent Jennifer Cunningham. "Our goal is to replace all outdated equipment with new, safer playground equipment that will be used not only by our students, but also by families in our community."

In 2015, Northwest FCS awarded 62 rural grants totaling more than $134,000. Since the program's inception in 2007, the company has presented 464 rural grants totaling more than $948,000.

The next rural grant deadline is June 1, 2016. If you think your rural project may be eligible for a grant, visit northwestfcs.com/Stewardship/Rural-Communities for more information and an application.
