FFA Community Impact Grants
BTC Bank is committed to ensuring the communities we serve thrive for generations to come. The most important way we do that is by investing in the next generation of community leaders.
BTC Bank is proud to offer Community Impact Grants to FFA Chapters to implement projects that will provide direct benefit to their community. The FFA Community Impact Grants are intended to foster youth leadership skills as well as contribute to the sustainable development of rural communities. By investing in projects that directly benefit the community, BTC Bank is empowering the next generation of leaders while simultaneously bolstering the resilience and prosperity of rural communities.
BTC Bank will award three regional grants in the amount of $1,500 each. From the three regional winners, an
overall champion will be named. The top chapter will receive an additional $500. Community Impact Projects are
intended to address a need within the community and make a significant, lasting impact.
