The CHS Foundation is committed to cultivating opportunities in the agriculture sector. Through university partnerships, it aims to support students pursuing agricultural studies by providing program support, mini-grants, and scholarships. The foundation's efforts are geared toward enhancing education and leadership development within the agricultural community.
The CHS and CHS Foundation Ag Health and Safety Grants are designed to pave the way for a safer agricultural future. These grants focus on funding agricultural health and safety initiatives, including providing training and equipment, and sharing industry expertise to protect farm families and rural communities. Key areas of support include: educating youth and farmers about agricultural dangers, offering safety training to rural firefighters and agribusiness professionals, developing safety guidelines for farms and agribusinesses, and supporting the health and well-being of farmers and ranchers. Through partnerships with organizations like Progressive Ag and AgriSafe, the program aims to educate youth, assist communities, and enhance overall safety in the agriculture sector.
