FUND THE FUTURE.

Think back. There was a moment when FFA became something more than a class or a chapter meeting. Maybe it was your first contest, a late night at an event, a new friendship, or a moment when you realized you were capable of more than you thought. It was the feeling of finding your people, discovering what you were good at, and becoming part of something bigger than yourself. Those are the moments that stayed with you.

Now picture a member today—same nerves, same doubts—reaching for the same opportunities you had.

Your gift makes that moment real.

DONATE TODAY

TO CARRY THE FFA EXPERIENCE FORWARD FOR THE NEXT GENERATION.

DEVELOPING LEADERS

Invest in young people who will bring initiative, responsibility, and a commitment to service to their careers and communities.

Your gift helps California FFA offer the competitions, conferences, and award programs that build students' confidence and create future leaders. From dynamic leadership conferences to hands-on projects to statewide contests that challenge them to communicate, work together, and solve problems, your support helps us remain the nation's premier youth leadership program.

EXPANDING ACCESS

Ensure a student’s potential—not their ability to pay—determines how far they can go.

Your gift helps remove barriers so more students can fully participate in California FFA and explore the endless opportunities available through agricultural education. When you provide an FFA jacket, support a scholarship for college or trade school, or simply help us keep conference registration fees as low as possible, you open doors to meaningful learning and leadership opportunities for students who may not otherwise have access.

TELLING OUR STORY

Help us tell the story of our first century and inspire investment in the next 100 years.

Your gift helps us share our historical impact and advocate for the future of FFA. Donations support our state officers' work as ambassadors and build our network of industry partners and sponsors. Gifts today will also help us create new historical exhibits and oral history projects that preserve defining moments and honor the people who brought us to this milestone.
