BRENTWOOD, Tenn. – Tractor Supply Company, the leading retailer of rural lifestyle products in the United States, is continuing its partnership with the National FFA Organization (FFA) with the launch of the tenth annual Grants for Growing fundraiser. This initiative, which begins on February 10, is designed to provide financial support to middle and high school FFA chapters as they work to develop and enhance project-based and experiential learning opportunities.
About the Grants for Growing Program
First introduced in 2013, the Grants for Growing program is a competitive grant program that has awarded over $10 million to more than 1,500 FFA chapters across the country. The grants, which range from $500 to $5,000, can be used for a variety of agricultural projects, including raising animals, developing gardens, and building greenhouses. These hands-on learning experiences not only help students gain valuable skills but also foster a deeper appreciation for agriculture and rural communities.

Whether it’s raising chickens, growing a garden, or building a greenhouse, the grant funds can help cover the costs of supplies, equipment, and other expenses. These opportunities not only enrich your educational experience but also help you develop important skills such as leadership, teamwork, and problem-solving.
