FFA Community Impact Challenge

IAS FFA Community Impact Challenge

Supporting students. Strengthening communities.

During National FFA Week, Innovative Ag Services is doing something a little different. This year, we are investing directly in local FFA chapters and the students who are already making a difference in our communities through the IAS FFA Community Impact Challenge.

We’re putting our support straight into student-led projects that strengthen agricultural education, leadership, and service across the towns we serve.

We’re inviting FFA chapters across our Iowa and Wisconsin service area to submit a project or initiative that supports agricultural education, leadership development, career exploration, or community service connected to agriculture.

Food drives. Shop improvements. Greenhouse builds. Community service. Leadership events. If it helps students grow and strengthens your town, we want to hear about it.

Here’s how it works:
• Chapters submit a short project description
• IAS selects 3 to 5 finalists
• Employees, members, and supporters vote online during FFA Week
• Winning chapters receive funding

Prizes
First Place: $1,000
Second Place: $500

Funds are awarded directly to chapters to support their programs and future impact.

Timeline
Feb 4 to 20: Call for Projects
Feb 24 to 27: Public voting during FFA Week
Feb 27 to 28: Winners announced

This fun challenge allows us to directly benefit students and advisors, create impact, and celebrate the next generation of ag leaders in the communities we serve.

If you’re an FFA advisor or chapter leader, we encourage you to share your story and apply. Entry form 

Let’s invest in the students who are already investing in agriculture’s future.
