- General Fund:
The general fund provides support for those programs
and awards not funded by specific sponsors. The
fund also provides special grants to the Ohio FFA
Association, skills contests and Ohio FFA Center.
Over 1,000 businesses, individuals and organizations
support this fund annually. Contributions normally
range from $25 to $500. There is a President's Club
at the $125 level and a 500 Club at the $500 level.
- Sponsored Project Fund: Established in 1983,
this program sponsors over 100 incentive awards,
special projects and Career Development Events. Most sponsorships
are in the $2,000 category; however, support of the
fund ranges from $1500 to $25,000. (current sponsors list)
- Endowment Fund: This fund was put into place in 1993 and focuses on securing continual support to FFA members. All contributions are invested and only the interest is used annually on FFA awards, scholarships and programs. Suggested contributions begin at $1000 and can be made payable over five years. The Ohio FFA Foundation, Inc. is proud to be a part of The Columbus Foundation. Our partnership increases the level of service the Ohio FFA Foundation can provide to individuals that would like to leave a legacy with the Ohio FFA. With increasing need for the services of nonprofit organizations and fewer sources of support, endowment building becomes critically important for future stability and growth. The Columbus Foundation is the sixth largest community foundation in the United States with managed assets of $750 million. The Ohio FFA Foundation, Inc. operates as normal with the expertise of The Columbus Foundation’s staff to support our planned giving programs. Their staff will provide technical assistance with deferred giving education and the legal language needed to establish the fund or add to the fund through a bequest.
- Memorials: This fund allows deceased and/or
friends of agricultural education and the FFA to
be remembered on a perpetual basis. Named Endowments
may be established with
the annual interest used to inspire and motivate
FFA members.
