Congratulations to the Harrisburg and Garretson FFA chapters for being awarded Grants for Growing funds by the National FFA Organization. Only 152 chapters nationwide were selected to receive grants. Grants for Growing is a competitive grant program for FFA chapters that are developing and improving project-based or experiential learning opportunities for students. FFA chapters from across the country applied for up to $5,000 through the G4G program to support one of three areas: Grow the Classroom that supports increasing students’ classroom knowledge; Grow the FFA Chapter that supports the development or expansion of an FFA chapter and leadership opportunities; and Grow Ag Awareness that supports the development or expansion of an agricultural literacy event or campaign.
