Iowa FFA Foundation Goal:

To secure 100% of funds for the budget request from ag. ed. organizations served by the foundation within the timelines specified by each organization. However, submission of a funding request does not indicate automatic sponsorship.

Final Report

A final report, including use of funds is required for all contributions regardless of the amount of funds received. Reports should include a photo from the event and a few simple facts about the event – i.e. number of students participating; increase in participants from previous years or any other information a donor may find interesting or impactful. Many superintendents already provide this report for the state fair superintendents review meeting. Final reports are due within 30 days of completion of the event to ensure timely dissemination to donors. Failure to submit a report for sponsored programs may impact future funding requests.
