FFA Receives a $10 Million Grant

The National FFA Organization is one of six national organizations to receive a $10 million grant from Lily Endowment. 

The grants are being awarded through the latest round of Lily’s “Character Through Youth Programs” initiative, which helps youth-serving organizations with a nationwide reach create, test, implement, and sustain strategies that support character development in young people ages five to 18.  

“The organizations like National FFA have a long history of supporting young people and helping them grow into healthy, resilient adults,” said Ted Maple, Lily Endowment’s vice president for education and youth programs. “With their distinctive missions and programs, they are embarking on new creative and strategic approaches to support youth-serving organizations through the first round of the initiative.”  

Ambra Tennery, director of education programs in the programs and events division for the National FFA Organization, said, “We are honored to receive this support from Lily Endowment.”
