Dedicated Professionals on a Mission
AgriBank supports the people who feed the world. Our commitment to helping people also extends to the communities where we live and work. Through AgriBank Gives Back, we support our neighbors through employee volunteering and giving as well as company grants and scholarships.
Twin Cities Area Charitable Giving
Each year, AgriBank supports nonprofit organizations serving communities throughout the Twin Cities metro area.
One focus of AgriBank’s giving is supporting organizations that help meet immediate needs, including food, housing, clothing and other essentials.
AgriBank also supports organizations that provide agricultural and financial education opportunities for young people. These programs give employees opportunities to share their experience and knowledge with students while supporting the next generation.
Twice a year, AgriBank recognizes five employees who demonstrate one of our culture characteristics: Mission, Integrity, Excellence, Support or Improvement. AgriBank makes a donation on behalf of each award recipient to a nonprofit of their choice.
Collins Scholarship
AgriBank partners with Agriculture Future of America (AFA) each year to award William J. Collins Scholarships that help develop the next generation of agricultural leaders. Named for a former AgriBank CEO, the $2,000 scholarships are awarded to children of Farm Credit employees in the AgriBank District who plan to pursue careers in agriculture or rural America.
Keri Votruba Future of Farming Endowment
AgriBank established the Keri Votruba Future of Farming Endowment in partnership with the Nebraska FFA Foundation. Named for a former AgriBank board chair, the endowment recognizes Nebraska FFA students for outstanding Supervised Agricultural Experiences in crop or livestock production.
National Farm Credit Grants
In addition to our charitable programs, AgriBank supports Farm Credit’s national giving program, which benefits the HBCU Partnership Challenge (supporting historically black colleges and universities), FFA, 4-H, and programs supporting veterans and young, beginning and small-operation farmers.
Rural Community Grant Fund
In North Dakota, AgriBank partners with AgCountry Farm Credit Services and Farm Credit Services of Mandan to provide grants supporting communities affected by mineral development in the Bakken region. Since its inception, the Rural Community Grant Fund has provided more than $7.3 million for community needs, including infrastructure, health care, emergency services, schools and other local projects.
