The DeKalb County Farm Bureau Foundation for Agriculture was established in 1986 as a 501 (c) (3) not- for-profit organization to accept tax deductible donations for charitable, scientific, literacy and educational work in the field of agriculture. The Farm Bureau Board of Directors had the vision to develop the Foundation to fund programs important to agriculture.
The uniqueness about the Foundation is its relationship to the Farm Bureau organization that has been in existence for over 100 years, complete with a strong heritage, solid footing, and the promise of being here for many years to come.
What distinguishes the Farm Bureau Foundation from other charitable organizations is its core values revolve around agriculture. The Foundation funds projects that are ag-related and promote education and outreach in our community.
