Nashua and Scobey Are Recipients
Montana Farmers Union has invested $25,000 in burgeoning FFA chapters over the past year through its new FFA New Chapter Sponsorship program.
Montana Farmers Union’s standing FFA New Chapter Sponsorship program was created in 2023 to help with startup costs associated with building a chapter. The program is specifically for new or rechaptered FFA programs from Jan. 1, 2022 and offers $2,500 per qualifying chapter. Florence, Frenchtown, Harrison, Havre, Augusta, Belt Valley, Scobey, Nashua, Whitehall and Jordan FFA chapters qualified for the sponsorships.
“Educating and connecting with the future generation has always been important to Montana Farmers Union, and the new sponsorship funding ia a great way to put that ideal to some practical use,” MFU board member Jeff Bangs said.
Honestly, my jaw just hit the floor with the generosity of that offer,” said Morgan Kuntz, director of development for the Montana FFA Foundation.
FFA has instilled the importance of community service and career skills in Montana youths since its formation in 1930. Today, Montana FFA has more than 6,600 members.
The new chapter sponsorship program is a natural extension of MFU’s longstanding support of FFA, including as a lead sponsor during convention, providing both financial support and leadership opportunities for members and filling financial needs for special projects.
