Financial assistance programs allow FFA chapters to secure unrestricted dollars through several programs that do not require final reporting. Retail programs provide funding through partnerships with local retailers and depend on consumer donations.

Chapter Donations

Chapter donations are direct gifts from local retailers, seed advisors, restaurants or automotive/equipment companies. The local business selects the chapter as a recipient of the donation.

AGCO
AGCO Chapter Grants

Retail Programs

Retail programs provide funding through partnerships with local retailers and depend on consumer donations through sales of paper emblems, direct donations and sales-based rebates. Annually, more than $1 million is secured by chapters nationwide.

Bloom
Bloom for Good

What’s even better than chapters earning 70% from a fundraiser and states earning an additional 5%? The fact that this fundraiser can be done remotely, and there is no money due upfront from local chapters.
