FOUNDATION PRESENTS CHECK TO ILLINOIS ASSOCIATION FFA

The Illinois Foundation FFA is dedicated to providing expanded educational and leadership opportunities for the agricultural education programs and FFA across the state of Illinois. Our vision is to secure resources to support, enhance, and strengthen the educational and leadership effectiveness of the Illinois Association FFA, the Illinois FFA Alumni and Supporters Association, Illinois PAS, and the Illinois Association of Vocational Agriculture Teachers.

During the recent 94th Annual Illinois FFA State Convention, the Foundation presented a check for $378,982.78. to the Illinois Association FFA from the support received this past year through several grants funded by other foundations, the scholarship program, career development support, proficiency awards and other FFA Programs. The support provided assisted not only the Illinois Association FFA but also FFA districts, sections, chapters and students from across Illinois.

The support provided could not occur without the support of the many individual donors, corporate sponsors, community members, and FFA supporters who continue to contribute to the Local Collection Drives and the countless other donations of time and money. The impact we can make together is tremendous and makes a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth and career success through agricultural education.
