In alignment with Grange Co-op’s purpose-to help our communities, customers, and employees achieve more together-we partner with Oregon FFA to fund a chapter grant program for local FFA chapters. This financial assistance supports chapter-wide projects or initiatives that promote premier leadership, personal growth, and career success for students, with an emphasis on agricultural education.
Grant requests are open to all FFA chapters in Southern Oregon, including Jackson, Josephine, and Klamath counties, as well as satellite regions such as Curry, Lake, and Douglas counties. Applications are accepted and reviewed twice a year.
Grange Co-op provides grants ranging from $250 to $2,500. Each chapter is eligible for one (1) grant award per school year. Chapters that are successfully awarded a Grange Co-op grant must purchase specific inventoried items at the nearest Grange Co-op location, even if it requires traveling a longer distance. This policy ensures chapters have access to necessary materials while supporting local inventory and minimizing shipping delays.
Grants have been historically awarded for:
- Projects that benefit the entire chapter beyond a single year
- Initiatives that involve students and include specific learning activities
- Projects that generate residual income for the chapter
- Programs that promote community engagement and support
How to Apply:
Grant applications can be submitted with the form linked below, when the application period is opened by Oregon FFA.

Budgets and attachments cannot be uploaded through the Grange Co-op Grant application form; please include the name of your chapter in the budget email subject line. All chapters are required to send photos and a recap of their project by the close of the school year the grant was received.
