Funding Agricultural Education

The American Farm Bureau Foundation for Agriculture is a 501 (c) (3) charitable organization created in 1967. Tax-deductible contributions to the AFB Foundation for Agriculture earmarked for agricultural education will be used to convey accurate messages about agriculture to teachers, students and consumers.

A special fundraising effort is now underway for a mini-grant program to support creative Ag in the Classroom projects at the state and county levels. To generate funding for the mini-grants, the Foundation is offering the first in a series of collectibles -- a vintage red and white '67 Chevy pickup for $39.95 (including shipping and handling). This custom-made limited edition Chevy pickup features the Foundation for Agriculture logo on the door panels. The statement, "Educating the public about our food and fiber system through programs such as Agriculture in the Classroom" is imprinted on the truckbed tonneau cover. In addition to being an attractive addition to a desk or shelf, the 1/25th scale model truck serves as a bank when the tonneau cover is pulled back to uncover a coin slot.

For tax purposes, $16.00 of the truck purchase may be considered a charitable contribution to the American Farm Bureau Foundation for Agriculture.
