Fastenal Company announced a new corporate partnership with the National FFA Organization, strengthening its long-standing support of agricultural education and youth development. FFA (short for Future Farmers of America) is a nonprofit dedicated to changing the lives of students and furthering their leadership, personal growth, and career success through agricultural education. With the new sponsorship, Mr. Miller joins the National FFA Sponsors' Board and Fastenal expands its presence at the National FFA Convention and Expo held each October.
In addition, Fastenal will continue to provide targeted support to FFA members and chapters across the country by: Advancing agricultural education and leadership through local chapter and state grants for members. These grants financially support the mission of the FFA through donations directly to state associations and individual chapters. Investing in students via the Fastenal Innovators scholarships.
Through the FFA grant application system, students can now apply for five Fastenal-funded college scholarships. Fostering belonging and pride with the 'Give the Gift of Blue' program. Fastenal's financial support helps provide members with FFA Blue Jackets, fostering a sense of pride and belonging in the organization.
In short, as an official partner, Fastenal has an opportunity to provide greater support and guidance to the next generation of biologists, chemists, veterinarians, engineers, entrepreneurs, and, of course, farmers.
