This fall, your local FFA chapter has the opportunity to earn a significant cash donation by participating in Ag Proud – Idaho’s subscription drive.
Ag Proud – Idaho magazine is free to qualified readers, including farmers, ranchers, workers and certified ag professionals, such as agronomists, veterinarians and nutritionists. If you don’t know already, you must request the magazine periodically to keep it coming.
This is where you can help.
Approach an FFA student you know and tell them you’d like to renew your subscription. Or sign up to start a new subscription for a key employee who works on your operation to receive their own subscription through an FFA student. The student’s FFA chapter will receive a cash donation from Ag Proud – Idaho for each subscription renewal or qualified new subscriber they sign up.
You may even be approached by an FFA student you know to renew. Even if you have recently renewed, please renew again with them. They get a donation for each renewal or qualified new subscriber they sign up.
“We're talking real money that can transform what these students can do in their chapters – and all it takes is getting the word out to people who already love agriculture,” says Ag Proud – Idaho’s Vice President of Publishing Walt Cooley.
The average FFA chapter in Idaho could earn $377 if each student member gathers just three subscription forms. Additionally, chapters throughout the state will also be competing to see who can return the most forms. Similarly sized chapters in five groupings will compete against each other to see which schools will have their donation tallies doubled.
“The sky's the limit here. The more students engage their communities, the more their chapters earn,” Cooley says.
Ag Proud – Idaho has partnered with the Idaho FFA Foundation for this subscription drive. Individual chapter donations will be dispersed through the foundation.
"This partnership is a game-changer for Idaho FFA chapters. We're calling on every advisor to rally their students – this is one of the easiest and most impactful ways to fund your chapter's programming this year,” Idaho FFA Foundation Executive Director Carly Jordan says.
If you know an FFA student, please reach out to him or her and offer to help them earn money for their chapter during this special subscription drive.
