Foundation Giving Day

The Wisconsin Farm Bureau Foundation will host an online Giving Day on Wednesday, August 17 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

This online day of giving will take place on Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation’s Facebook and Instagram pages. All proceeds from the Giving Day support education and leadership programs through the Wisconsin Farm Bureau Foundation including Agriculture in the Classroom, Young Farmers and Agriculturist Program, Promotion and Education Program, and WFBF Leadership Institute. The Wisconsin Farm Bureau Foundation also supports the  Wisconsin Cranberry Discovery Center, 4-H Key Awards, 4-H Foundation, FFA Foundation,  FFA Farm Forum and FFA Discussion Meet.

Giving Day replaces the organization’s annual Wisconsin Ag Open. The theme of this year’s event, ‘It Starts With Us’, is in conjunction with the WFBF Annual Meeting and YFA Conference, and will highlight past participants of programs made possible by the Wisconsin Farm Bureau Foundation.
