Mission and Goals
The mission of the California FFA Foundation is to promote, aid, and assist, financially or otherwise, California FFA to ensure the success of Agricultural Education by preparing tomorrow's agricultural leaders, today.
Our Goal is to provide individuals, businesses, foundations and others the opportunity to invest in the premier secondary Agricultural Education leadership development program in California: FFA.

Why Give?
The world’s population continues to grow, and the agriculture industry needs more people who can help produce food, fuel and fiber in ways that are faster, smarter and more sustainable than ever before.
By giving to the California FFA Foundation, you are helping smart, talented and determined young people to become the leaders we need for tomorrow — leaders who will develop the new strategies and technologies that will ensure a safe, abundant and affordable food supply for us all.

Almond Leadership Program
Four years ago, Almond Board of California’s Almond Leadership Program
began raising funds for the California FFA Foundation to provide scholarships
for graduating FFA students planning to pursue a degree in agriculture. Since
2016, nearly $100,000 has been raised through this collaboration!
In
an ongoing effort to support the California FFA Foundation, the 2019 Almond Leadership Program class is
dedicated to contributing to this effort and plans to hit and exceed their set
goal of $25,000. One tactic for
reaching this goal is through the annual silent auction at The Almond
Conference. The 2019 Almond Conference is December 10-12, in Sacramento at Cal
Expo. The silent auction is held over the course of two days with different
silent auction items on Wednesday, Dec. 11 and Thursday, Dec. 12. Feel free to
reach out to Rebecca Bailey at rbailey@almondboard.com to donate an item for
the silent auction. Or take action now by making a monetary donation by clicking
