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 grant program by the CHS Foundation aims to educate the next generation about the agricultural cooperative business model and supports initiatives that demonstrate a history of success or growth, incorporate innovative and technological approaches, and target middle school to college-age students as well as young producers. Priority is given to programs that clearly outline engagement strategies, goals with measurable outcomes, support program-related costs, and have a broad reach within the CHS main trade area across various states in the United States.
