About Future Farmers of America
Future Farmers of America channels most of its recent giving into state FFA associations and foundations, with repeated professional grants to organizations such as the Indiana FFA Foundation in Trafalgar, Indiana, and the North Carolina FFA Association in Raleigh, North Carolina. That pattern reflects a funder built around agricultural education and member development rather than a single program area. The foundation supports leadership development, supervised agricultural experience projects, service-learning, scholarships, and student participation costs, all within the FFA network. It also funds individuals, and its programs include both competitive chapter and state-association grants and scholarship awards for students and alumni. The recent grants list shows ongoing support across multiple years, including separate awards to the Ohio FFA Association in Columbus, Kentucky FFA Association in Frankfort, and Georgia FFA Foundation in Swainsboro. Those recurring awards point to a structure that combines chapter-level support with state-level grants and scholarship funding. Nationally, its work is tied to agricultural education and the broader FFA membership pipeline, from middle school chapters through college members and alumni.
What Future Farmers of America Funds
A central theme in Future Farmers of America’s grantmaking is service-learning. Through Living to Serve grants, state associations and chapters receive support for service projects, including up to $8,000 for a state-level day of service and up to $1,200 per semester for a chapter project. The foundation also backs hands-on agricultural learning. Grants for Growing supports middle and high school FFA chapters developing project-based or experiential learning opportunities, with awards of up to $5,000, while SAE Grants provide $1,000 to start or expand supervised agricultural experiences, with larger continuing-project awards available. Student access is another clear focus. Give the Gift of Blue provides official jackets to members in need, and Student Engagement and Travel Assistance Grants help reduce travel and fee costs for participation in National FFA programs and events. Scholarship support is organized separately through the National FFA Scholarship Program and National FFA Scholarships.
How Future Farmers of America Gives
Typical awards are modest and clustered around the low five figures: p25 is $8,000, median grant size is $10,163, and p75 is $13,100. The recent grant list also includes larger state-association professional grants above that range, including awards in the $20,000s and $30,000s. The pattern is recurring rather than one-off, with the same state organizations appearing across multiple years, such as Ohio, Kentucky, Oklahoma, and Indiana. Future Farmers of America functions as a foundation, funds individuals, and also operates grant and scholarship programs. Several programs accept unsolicited applications, including Living to Serve, Grants for Growing, SAE Grants, and National FFA Scholarships.
