The CHS Foundation will consider programs that:
- Educate the next generation about the agricultural cooperative business model
- Demonstrate a history of success and/or increase in growth or demand
- Incorporate technology and new, innovative approaches
- Target middle school, high school, college-age students and young producers
- Clearly identify strategies for engagement with key audiences and outline goals with measurable outcomes
- Use funding to support program-related costs
- Have a national or state level reach within the main CHS trade area (Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Ohio, Oregon, South Dakota, Texas, Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming)
If you have a project that fits these criteria, check back for the next application cycle in early 2024.
