The Idaho FFA Foundation has received a $5,000 grant from the Forever Idaho South Central Fund in the Idaho Community Foundation. These funds will go to support Idaho FFA programs, scholarships, local members, and the Idaho FFA Association.
The Idaho FFA Foundation is growing leaders, building communities, and strengthening the agriculture industry by supporting FFA programs and scholarships. The Foundation’s mission is to promote premier leadership, personal growth and career success of Idaho FFA members and agricultural education students by providing strategic financial resources for the Idaho FFA Association. Through funding, the Foundation supports quality programs for agricultural education students and FFA members ensuring a sustainable future for FFA and agricultural education in Idaho. Each day across Idaho, students prepare for careers in agriculture and beyond and will become our future skilled workforce and entrepreneurs and develop into the leaders we need for tomorrow.
The Foundation’s goal is to achieve FFA-For-All. This initiative comes from National FFA to encourage each state to create an inclusive learning environment. Idaho has a small number of residents who are involved in production agriculture. Agriculture is vital to Idaho, the United States, and the world. The Idaho Foundation aims to include, support, and encourage any and every person who wants to learn about and be involved in agriculture.
“A gift like this from the Idaho Community Foundation Forever Idaho South Central Fund makes a world of difference in an organization like ours. We’re thrilled and grateful to receive this opportunity to bolster our programs, such as college scholarships, classroom grants, FFA Blue Jacket (Gift of Blue) awards, and other meaningful programs,” shared Carly Weaver, Idaho FFA Foundation Executive Director.
