Tractor Supply Offering FFA Grants for Growing Program

Tractor Supply Company is offering a new grant program to FFA chapters nationwide.

It’s called the “Grants for Growing” program and it’s designed to give local FFA chapters an opportunity to make their communities a better place to live.

In partnership with the National FFA Foundation, the “Grants for Growing” program raises funds for local FFA chapter initiatives and awards minimum $500 competitive grants to participating chapters.

While $500 is the minimum grant amount that will be awarded to selected chapters, there is no cap on the amount of funding that a chapter can choose to request for its project.

If selected, chapters can use the funds in a number of ways to benefit their community including buying vegetation, trees, seed, chickens, feed, mulch or tools to help start or expand an FFA project that will continue for years to come.

Chapter advisors are required to complete the grant application, and eligibility will be based on the evaluation of how the money will be used, volunteer hours, and promotional activities during the fundraising period.

The deadline for local FFA chapters to sign up for this competitive grant process is February 15.

Tractor Supply customers can also contribute to the program by donating a $1 at checkout February 19 through 28.
