Paullina Fire Department Receives Support From FOCUS
FOCUS stands for Fontanelle Offering Communities Understanding Support. Fontanelle has been looking for a way to give back to communities in our sales footprint. At the same time we wanted a way to give our top dealers recognition for all that they do. So we combined the effort into the FOCUS grants.
As part of their planning process, our top dealers have to put together a business plan each year. One of the areas to fill in on their business plan is what organizations/events/items for the community are they going to champion. The dealers then do the research to find the areas of need within their communities and decide which ones they want to fill out an application for a FOCUS grant.
