Your Partnership With FFA
The Nebraska FFA Foundation’s Corporate Sponsorship Program is designed to provide optimum recognition for your support of the Nebraska FFA. A short list of guidelines outlining program expectations has been developed to help deliver meaningful value and results for your investment in the program.
The Nebraska FFA Foundation strives to meet these needs by providing long-term funding sources to support Nebraska FFA, building a strategic fund to support local FFA chapters and creating ways for people to have long-term giving opportunities.
