INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA (RFD NEWS) Give FFA Day is underway, and supporters across the country are stepping up to impact more than a million National FFA Organization members, encouraging students, alumni, educators, and supporters to invest in the future of agricultural education. The day aims to provide FFA members with the resources they need to grow leadership skills, explore new projects, and make an impact in their communities.

National FFA Annual Fund Manager Kimberly Coveney joined us on Thursday’s Market Day Report to share the significance of the day.

In her conversation with RFD NEWS, Coveney emphasized the influence FFA membership has on young people and how critical this support is for programs nationwide. She also explained that donations made today flow directly to FFA programs, benefiting students across all 52 state associations, from small rural chapters to larger urban programs.

Coveney’s message was simple but powerful: every donation, no matter the size, helps students grow, explore leadership opportunities, and make a real impact in their communities.

For viewers eager to get involved, Coveney shared that the fastest and easiest way to support FFA is online, through direct contributions to the National FFA Foundation. To learn more, visit: Give FFA Day 2026.
