$10,000 donation to Petersburg Rural Fire Protection District!

Partnership between Aggie Foundation and Town Pump II Supports Community Groups

PETERSBURG, North Dakota – The Aggie Foundation made a $10,000 donation to the Petersburg Rural Fire Protection District (PRFPD) to provide equipment/supplies for the organization as well as more training.

Adam Slettebak, a member of PRFPD, expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to make an impact on multiple projects and efforts by the PRFPD.

“We are greatly appreciative of the donation,” Adam said. “It will help us greatly on a few projects that we have going on.”

This donation is for the PRFPD to acquire new equipment and provide more training for their volunteers, which helps their mission in providing first response for their community. The Aggie Foundation has supported the local fire departments across North Dakota by donating over $50,000 to them in the past year.

“First response should always be a top priority,” said Terry Peterson, Aggie Foundation Board President. “When we can partner with someone like Town Pump II and make such an impact in their community…this is why we do it.”

The PRFPD has roughly 20 volunteers and serves Petersburg and surrounding rural areas.

The Aggie Foundation was established in 2012 by a group of friends from Velva, ND. The Foundation initially supported its mission of charitable giving via a modest, yearly scholarship provided to a Senior from Velva who excelled in Biology. They began to help raise funds for citizens in need, schools, youth sports, and local organizations or groups doing good things in Velva and the surrounding communities. Their expansion as a broad grant-provider and community partner allows them to support organizations across North Dakota working with community leaders to identify which organizations are in need of economic assistance.
