The Wisconsin Farm Bureau Foundation will be hosting its annual Giving Day on Wednesday, August 2 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
This online day of giving took 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.
The first Giving Day event was held in 2022 and raised over $20,000 to benefit these great programs.
Giving Day replaced the organization’s annual Wisconsin Ag Open.
