The Kansas FFA Foundation celebrated a record-breaking Give FFA Day 2025 on February 20, raising over $59,000 in just 24 hours with support from nearly 400 donors. This marks the most successful Give FFA Day in Kansas history, surpassing the previous record of $23,000. Kansas ranked third nationally in state giving, demonstrating strong support for agricultural education and FFA programs.

The Foundation’s $40,000 goal was met by 2:00 p.m., with donations coming from all 105 Kansas counties, 22 states, Washington, D.C., and Canada. Funds will provide leadership development, career readiness, and hands-on learning experiences for nearly 14,000 Kansas FFA members, as well as support agricultural educators.

Key donors and matching partners included Mustang Seed, Ag Partners Cooperative, Keith and Sheri Westervelt, Grass and Grain Newspaper, Jerry and Anita DeWeese, Mark Mayfield, S&S Rock Crushing, Kansas State University Ag Education Club, and the Kansas FFA Foundation Board of Trustees.

Looking ahead, the Kansas FFA Foundation welcomes chapters and guests to the 97th Kansas FFA Convention at Kansas State University from May 27–30, 2025. More information is available at www.ksffa.org/foundation.

The Kansas FFA Association serves nearly 14,000 student members in 232 local chapters across 103 Kansas counties.
