Chapter Success Grants

Chapter Success Grants are available to FFA chapters to fund community development projects in the areas of educational agricultural programs, agriculture awareness and promotion and agriculture and food economic development. These projects are to address the needs of farmers and rural individuals, families and communities, agricultural education and the economic development of rural areas and should be in collaboration with a substantial agency, a governmental entity, or other long-standing organization.

Annually Ohio FFA chapters submit project proposals to the Ohio FFA Foundation, and a committee selects projects to receive grant funding. Chapter Success Grants are made possible by Heritage Cooperative, the Ohio Department of Agriculture and Trillium Farms. For project ideas and complete details, click on the Guidelines below.

Applications for Chapter Success Grants open on April 15, 2024 and are due by May 15, 2024.
