Overview

Mission

To secure the promise of agricultural education by creating an environment where people and communities can develop their potential for premier leadership, personal growth, and career success. We accomplish this mission by funding agriculture education needs, scholarships, and supporting nonprofit organizations in our agriculturally based community.

What it reported doing in 2024

Provided funding to several non-profit organizations within our agricultural-based community including emergency services, 4H Clubs, neighboring FFA Chapters, Lions Club, Knights of Columbus, Boy Scouts and other non-profit groups. Approximately 2,000 people benefited from these funds.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Grant intermediary. The nonprofit sent 100% of its reported program spending out as grants.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration and the available information about grant readiness automatic revocation leaves an important question unanswered.
