South Dakota FFA receives donation

Farm Credit Services of America provided $4,310 to the South Dakota FFA Foundation to assist local FFA chapters experiencing financial challenges as a result of Covid-19. Social distancing requirements prevented many local FFA chapters from hosting the fund-raisers they depend on to support educational activities and trips. FCSAmerica’s contribution helped to fill some of the resulting funding gaps, allowing chapters to continue their programming for the benefit of students and their rural communities.

FFA chapters impacted by Covid-19 completed a grant application process through the South Dakota FFA Foundation. The following FFA chapters will each receive a $500 FFA grant thanks to FCSAmerica: Andes Central, Chamberlain, Ethan, Harrisburg, Howard, Kadoka, Lemmon, Philip and Webster/Waubay.
