The Indiana Farm Bureau donated $25,000 to the Indiana FFA Foundation.

The donation matches the donations made through the Pay It Forward campaign to help retire the original loan on the Indiana FFA Leadership Center, located in Trafalgar, IN.

The money will be used to build the Give Hope Annuity, created to help with future capital projects of the Center.

"Few organizations can compare to FFA when it comes to preparing future leaders for our industry," Randy Kron, president of Indiana Farm Bureau Inc. and Indiana Farm Bureau Insurance, told WBIW. "We're honored to support the place where Indiana's FFA members learn and are inspired to grow."

The Pay It Forward campaign kicked off during the Indiana FFA’s 87^th State Convention in June. It will continue for at least two years. The goal is to raise $175,000 to enable Indiana FFA to officially own the Leadership Center.

In the past five years, Indiana FFA has invested nearly $500,000 into the Leadership Center.

Anyone interested in making a donation can contact Lisa Chaudion, foundation director, at lchaudion@inffa.org, or 317-878-4178.
