QUARTERLY IMPACT REPORT
DIRECTOR’S REMARKS Similar to what you may be doing right now at your farm or at your business, we at the Missouri FFA Foundation have been reflecting upon our productivity this year Thanks to the donations from you, our sponsors and donors, we have funded 33 professional development institutes and classes for teachers; supported 108 days of leadership workshops, industry skills training, and agriculture advocacy seminars to more than 30,000 students and current producers; and, paid more than $730,000 in grants and scholarships to students, FFA chapters, and local agricultural education programs. The results of these efforts have been phenomenal. Those grants, when combined with local matches, resulted in more than 1.27 million invested in agriculture education across Missouri! At the National FFA Convention, Missouri FFA had 10 national winners, 29 chapters receiving a 3-Star Chapter rating (the highest given), and 757 American Degree recipients (the most of any state). The future of Missouri agriculture is bright because your support has strengthened Missouri agriculture education. As we wrap up 2025 and rush headlong into 2026, please remember, it’s your gift to the Missouri FFA Foundation that empowers our teachers and students to learn, to lead, to dream and to succeed.
