Nebraska FFA Foundation : Local Chapter Grant Program

The Nebraska FFA Foundation Grant Program provides funding for local agriculture classrooms and FFA programs that demonstrate a clearly defined and described financial need. Grant requests may be for any amount up to $10,000 and may support agriculture classrooms and school-based enterprises that are past Launch! participants, and FFA programs. The grant application period is open until June 30, 2024. All grant-related administrative work will take place during the school year. Grant funding will be awarded after all required documentation is completed, which must be submitted by June 1, 2025.
Grants must include a 1:1 match (for example, if a Nebraska FFA Chapter receives $3,000 from the Nebraska FFA Foundation, it must also receive $3,000 from the school district or another approved source). Matching funds may come from one or more of the following:
