The Pennsylvania FFA Foundation believes agriculture education students should have the maximum opportunity to grow and succeed, leaving high school as prepared as possible for the world ahead.  The Learning By Doing Grant program is just one way the Foundation supports this mission.  If you choose to donate to the Learning By Doing Grant program you are making an investment in Agriculture Education. Funds allocated through the Learning by Doing Grants are intended to make a lasting impact on the future of Pennsylvania’s agriculture. To learn more, visit our Learning By Doing Grant page.
