The Oklahoma Farm Bureau Foundation for Agriculture has awarded ten organizations around the state with grants through the foundation’s mini grant program. The $500 grants are awarded to county Farm Bureaus, 4-H clubs, FFA chapters and classroom teachers to fund projects that enhance agricultural literacy in Oklahoma.
The grants are awarded through an application process, in which interested groups, organizations and individuals list their educational project, goals and objectives.
The foundation’s mini grants are awarded in two cycles, with the first cycle grants issued in March and the second cycle issued in September. For more information on the foundation’s grant programs, visit the OKFB Foundation for Agriculture website.
