Idaho FFA Foundation, Inc. - Empowering Future Leaders
Welcome to the Idaho FFA Organization, a non-profit organization that is dedicated to empowering future leaders in agriculture and beyond. The Idaho FFA Foundation, Inc. was established in 1984 with the aim of providing financial support and resources to the Idaho FFA Association.
The Idaho FFA Association is a youth organization that aims to develop leadership skills, personal growth, and career success through agricultural education. The association has been active for over 90 years and has helped thousands of young people across the state of Idaho.
The mission of the Idaho FFA Foundation is to secure funding for programs that support agricultural education and leadership development for students enrolled in agricultural education courses throughout the state of Idaho. The foundation provides scholarships, grants, awards, and other forms of financial assistance to help students achieve their goals.
One of the primary objectives of the foundation is to provide opportunities for students who may not have access to traditional educational resources or who face financial barriers. By providing these opportunities, we hope to create a more diverse pool of future leaders who can contribute positively towards our society.
The foundation also works closely with local businesses and organizations across various industries such as agriculture, forestry, natural resources management among others; this helps us build brand loyalties that last a lifetime while supporting our future leaders.
