Kane County Farm Bureau Foundation, St. Charles, Illinois
The KCFB FOUNDATION is excited about the initiative to raise funds for classroom education about food and farming & to provide college scholarships for local students studying for careers in agriculture. We call it FOOD>Forward. By 2050 there will be 2 billion more hungry mouths to feed around the world, yet statistics show a gap of 25,000 college grads annually for jobs in agriculture related fields. The FOUNDATION believes that the best way to meet the global food challenge is for farming, agriculture and food policy to attract and retain the best minds.
The Foundation helps fund many Ag Literacy Programs. The Ag Literacy Library at the Farm Bureau has hundreds of books with agricultural themes. Farm Bureau members check out
books on topics ranging from gardening to children’s stories about life on the farm. Thanks to donations and memorial contributions, the collection continues to grow.
Our FOUNDATION is dedicated to providing agriculture based education for the next generation, and to meeting the challenge of providing food for a hungry planet.
The Kane County Farm Bureau Foundation is an IRS 501(c)(3) charitable organization that supports education, leadership development, research & charitable activities for the benefit of agriculture and farm families.
