Fall 2020 White-Reinhardt Grants
The American Farm Bureau Foundation for Agriculture is now accepting applications for Fall 2020 White-Reinhardt Grants for agricultural literacy projects. These $1,000 grants are intended to create or expand upon existing agricultural literacy educational programs. The grants must be done in partnership with a local county or state Farm Bureau. Applications are due May 30 . 

This would be a great idea for Connecting Chapters participants to apply for with their local County Farm Bureau!
