Beverly, OH – The Fort Frye FFA Chapter has been awarded a grant designed to help the local Beverly community. The grant is provided through the Ohio FFA Foundation’s Chapter Success Grants Program which provides support to build sustainable relationships and programs that will benefit Ohio communities for years to come.
Chapter Success Grants allow Ohio FFA chapters to apply for funding that aid community development projects. These FFA chapter projects often benefit rural residents or low-income farmers and have a long-term impact on the community, either economically or through an improved quality of life. Participating FFA Chapters will work in collaboration with other local organizations to complete these projects which will cover agricultural topics varying from educational programs to awareness and promotion to economic development.
Fort Frye FFA will be hosting a livestock showmanship clinic for new exhibitors. This will allow young exhibitors either new or just wanted to become more educated that are wanting more experience and knowledge before entering the ring.
After FFA chapters submitted project proposals to the Ohio FFA Foundation, a total
of 14 grants were awarded to the following chapters: Allen East, Archbold, Ben Logan, Bio-Med Science Academy, Evergreen, Fort Frye, Miami Trace Great Oaks, Plymouth, Ridgemont, Ridgewood, Tinora, Urbana, Versailles and Zane Trace. The projects will be completed by Spring of 2024.
The Chapter Success Grants program is a partnership between the Ohio FFA Foundation, the Ohio Department of Agriculture and Heritage Cooperative.
