About Us
Who We Are
The Florida FFA Foundation helps to ensure the success of agricultural education in Florida by providing support for:
- Youth Leadership Development
- Career & Leadership Development Events
- Florida FFA State Convention
- Educator Professional Development
- Student Scholarship & Supervised Agricultural Experience Grants
Why Give?
Charitable gifts to the Florida FFA Foundation help to ensure the continued development of leaders who will grow their communities and strengthen agriculture. FFA helps to foster a bright future for the next generation of agricultural leaders, but also creates informed citizens, future customers, outstanding community leaders and trusted employees.
Contributions to Florida FFA support youth in and out of the classroom. For sponsors, brands can reach more than more than 60,000 Florida FFA members. For individuals, many wish to give of their time and financial support to the organization that made such a positive difference in their lives, and the lives of others.
Donations help us to provide opportunities that accomplish the FFA mission; “FFA makes a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth and career success through agricultural education.”
