What kinds of projects are funded?

KFB Foundation for Agriculture grants will be considered for the following programs:
 

1) Agriculture educational programs for key segments of the urban, suburban and rural population, e.g., children, adults, teachers and retirees to improve their perceptions and increase their understanding of agriculture and its importance in their lives and to our economy
 

2) Agriculture leadership programs for key segments of the urban, suburban and rural population, e.g., youth and adults to improve their leadership skills and involvement in leadership to benefit agriculture and rural communities
 

What types of requests are ineligible?

  • Administrative or overhead costs and meals
  • Activities that are promotional rather than educational in nature, e.g. advertising (unless advertising the activity), sponsorships, county fairs, non-farm safety programs, signage, prizes, giveaways, travel
  • Activities or programs that do not advance the KFB Foundation for Agriculture's goals
