Cargill awarded a three-year grant of $3.15 million to the National FFA Organization in support of its commitment to shape future agriculture leaders.
The grant supports various National FFA Organization programs and events during the three-year period, including the organization’s sustainability platform, the equity, diversity and inclusion pathway, and the Living to Serve program. During the National FFA Convention & Expo, the grant supports a booth, the rodeo and travel grants for career development event participants. In addition, the funding supports the American FFA Degree and the American Star Awards. Cargill’s grant also supports programs that encourage the exploration of career pathways in agriculture.
National FFA and Cargill look forward to continued partnership to ensure an even greater impact in the remaining two years of the grant. FFA’s Molly Ball says, “This grant allows us to reach more members and continue providing new opportunities that help feed the talent pipeline.”
