This year on the 11th annual Give FFA Day, National FFA is challenging our alumni, members, and friends of FFA to the largest goal yet of over $1.75 million to support members across the country. With overwhelming support from donors, FFA raised over $1.65 million on Give FFA Day 2025. 

A few examples of what your Give FFA Day donation can support: 

• Student leadership and career preparation programs 

• Teacher resources 

• Blue jackets for FFA members 

• Travel assistance to national and/or state conferences and conventions 

Following the lead of National FFA, John Deere is striving to increase our impact, by working with the Alumni & Supporters chapter, current employees, the John Deere Dealer Channel, and you, our valued retirees. As whole John Deere collective, our goal is to donate over $150,000.
