In honor of National FFA Week (February 17-24, 2024), the QBE Foundation and NAU Country are proud to support the National FFA Organization! Our partnership and sponsorship with the National FFA Foundation help to set up the success of our future farmers.

Give FFA Day

National FFA Week hosts their annual GIVE FFA DAY on Thursday, February 22, 2024. Each year during National FFA Week, FFA Alumni, parents, corporate partners, and supporters celebrate #GiveFFADay by uniting for 24 hours of giving back. These contributions support the members, teachers, and programs that embody the FFA vision – to provide the next generation of leaders who will change the world. On Give FFA Day 2023, the FFA community raised over $822,000! This year’s goal is to raise $1,000,000 in 24 hours.
