ChapterBoost

ChapterBoost is run by the National FFA Foundation, which has a long track record of supporting agriculture education. Every project on the platform has been reviewed and approved before it goes live. You can browse projects, read what each chapter is raising money for, and give directly to the one you want to support.

There are no formal reporting requirements. That said, we always appreciate photos, updates, and thank you notes we can share with donors and our broader community. It helps show the real impact your chapter is making.

If your project doesn’t reach its goal after 4 months, you have two options. You can accept the amount raised so far, or you can re-enter the queue and pick up where you left off once your project goes live again. We’ll send a reminder email at the 90-day mark so your team has time to plan.

After you apply, our team will review your submission and place it in a queue. When space opens up (25 projects can be live at one time), we’ll email you to confirm you still want to move forward. Projects go live on a first-come, first-served basis.

Chapters can apply for a wide range of projects. Some examples include classroom supplies, student registration fees, capital improvements like greenhouses or garden spaces, and new program materials. The main thing we ask is that projects support your chapter’s mission and benefit your members. We don’t fund professional development or continuing education for adults.

ChapterBoost gives chapters a way to raise money beyond what their school or local budget can provide. It also helps you share your story with a wider audience and connect your community to your mission. The National FFA Foundation supports you through the whole process, from the application to running your campaign.
