Michigan FFA Foundation hits milestone

MI FFA FoundationThe only FFA Foundation housed at a Land Grant University attributes family and university collaboration as the main driver behind a recent success.

Michigan FFA Foundation Executive Director Ramey Lunceford tells Brownfield the foundation has met their $3.5 million endowment goal and are well on their way to becoming self-sufficient.  “We do have a goal of $8 million in our endowment that can be used for sustaining the FFA in Michigan and once we get there, we know that our organization will be available for generations to come.”

He says families and individual donors are seeing the importance of leadership development in the FFA.  “They realize that the FFA is responsible for creating the leaders in agriculture for Michigan and so you’ve seen a lot of people making individual contributions.”

Lunceford says over $300,000 has been gifted toward the Michigan FFA and agricultural education this year.
