Tractor Supply Raises Over $1 Million for FFA Grants to Fund Ag Training
Tractor Supply’s 11th annual Grants for Growing fundraiser generated over $1 million through customer purchases of paper FFA emblems, funding hands-on agriculture and skilled-trades projects. Since 2016, the program has awarded grants up to $5,000 to FFA chapters, while TSCO’s partnership with FFA has delivered $24 million in support since 1985.
1. Fundraiser Results
During its 11th annual Grants for Growing event, Tractor Supply customers purchased paper FFA emblems at checkout, driving more than $1 million in donations over four weeks. Proceeds from emblem sales will equip thousands of FFA members nationwide with materials for hands-on learning in agriculture and skilled trades.
2. Grant Details and Impact
FFA chapters may apply for grants up to $5,000 in three focus areas—Grow Your Classroom, Grow Your FFA Chapter and Grow Your Ag Awareness—through May 15. Since 2016, these awards have funded greenhouse construction, beekeeping supplies, farm equipment, embroidery machines and more, enabling students to engage directly in agricultural mechanics, woodworking and electrical projects.
3. Enduring FFA Partnership
Tractor Supply has supported the National FFA Organization with nearly $24 million in donations since 1985 and launched a $5 million Future Leaders Scholarship fund in 2022. To date, nearly 300 students have received scholarships for study at universities, community colleges and trade schools, reinforcing TSCO’s commitment to rural education and workforce development.
