Local Collection Drive
Each year the Illinois Foundation FFA hosts the local collection drive. Contributions can be credited to a specific chapter, or given as a State at Large Donation. The Local Collection Drive serves as the Foundation's main source of donations. The Drive kicks off in July and goes through June.
Sponsorships
Illinois Foundation FFA offers many sponsorship opportunities from leadership conferences, state convention, career development events, and supervised agricultural experiences.
In Kind Gifts
In-kind gifts are contributions of goods. Examples of in-kind gifts include:
- Goods: computers, furniture, & office equipment
- Expertise, like legal, tax or business advice; marketing and website development; and strategic planning
- Services, like meeting space, photocopy and mail services, and administrative/financial support
Life Insurance
Naming the Illinois Foundation FFA as a beneficiary of your life insurance policy is a great way to leave your legacy. Premium payments are tax deductible up to the legal limit of the entire value of the policy if initiated as a gift.
Memorials
For those who believe in agricultural education and FFA, a meaningful way to remember loved ones and/or to express sympathy to others who have lost someone very dear to them is through a memorial gift. All memorials received by us will be listed in our Convention Program.
