Overview

Mission

The Missouri ffa association is dedicated to making a difference in the lives of young people by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth, and career success through agricultural education.

What it reported doing in 2025

Missouri ffa convention - the convention and associated career development events provide over 5,000 Missouri agricultural education students with the opportunity to demonstrate career skils they have developed in their high school agricultural education classes. Expenses - state convention/agriscience fair revenue - state convention/leadership fund/national reimbursement/greenhand conference revenue

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 67% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 84% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
