Ways to Give
Contributions to Oregon FFA empower the future of agriculture, natural resources and community leaders with hands-on experience in agricultural, technology, and business skills. We are preparing our students to tackle tomorrow’s challenges.
With your help, Oregon FFA continues to inspire and equip students to make a lasting impact in their communities and industries.
We have opportunities for business and industry (Star Partners), individual donors (Blue & Gold Circle) and farms and ranches (Farm for FFA).
Blue & Gold Circle
(Individual Donors)
With your support, we will grow the next generation of leaders. Gifts to the Oregon FFA Foundation help to ensure that more than 15,000 FFA members have continued opportunities that develop their potential for premier leadership, personal growth and career success through agricultural education.
Every single gift, no matter the size, helps to sustain and grow the mission and programs that Oregon FFA provides.
Star Partners
(Business & Industry)
The Oregon FFA Foundation partners with businesses who give annually to further educational opportunities for FFA members. Sponsorship of Oregon FFA provides corporate supporters the unique opportunity to develop brand affinity, recruit future employees, support a cause and help ensure the future of the agricultural industry.
Farms for FFA
(Family Farms & Ranches)
The Farms for FFA program connects production agriculture, one of the most important aspects of the Agriculture industry, to the FFA and Agricultural Education. The farms and ranches that make up the Farms for FFA program provide guidance, influence, and leadership, in addition to financial support.
A pledge to become a Farms for FFA means that for the next three years a farm or ranch commits to contribute $2,000 each year.
Planned Giving
Legacy gifts are important to us, please consider us in your estate plans. If you have already provided for us, please let us know! We’d like to welcome you into our Legacy Society.
Are you 70.5 or older? Do you have a traditional IRA?
If you answered yes to both questions, there’s a smarter way for you to give and save on your tax bill: make a gift to Oregon FFA directly from your IRA, known as Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) and give a powerful gift to support youth leadership through Agricultural Education.

Agriculture Teachers
Where our food comes from is part of what over 15,000 FFA members learn in their agriculture science classes. FFA members participate in activities such as growing gardens to support local food banks and starting their own produce businesses. Members have sold shares of a steer, hog or lamb to friends and neighbors. Our Parliamentary Procedure teams and Extemporaneous Speaking events feature topics about import regulations and international trade policies and their effect on both farmers and consumers. Supporting Oregon FFA means supporting young entrepreneurs and informed and engaged young people.

TESTIMONIALS
What FFA Members Say
Without FFA I would not be the person I am today, and for that reason I will never be able to thank the organization enough. The day that I have to hang up my jacket for the last time, will be one of the hardest days of life. However, I know I will be prepared to enter the world because of the help from this organization. So, thank you Oregon FFA for the experience you have given me the last four years.
Mariah Profily
North Marion FFA Chapter
The FFA has impacted my life in ways that words will never be able to properly record. Like the plants that sprout from the soil by the hands of the farmer, the FFA has helped me to grow. Grow into a decent, polite, outgoing, fun, loving person willing to take on challenges and help anyone in need. The FFA has impacted my life, by giving me reason. Reason to better myself, and reason to better those around me.
