Bridge Ahead

For 30 years, AFA has been connecting, developing and inspiring the next generation of leaders in food and agriculture. Now, we're looking ahead to what's possible. In celebration of our 30th anniversary, we're launching Bridge Ahead, a bold $30 million fundraising campaign designed to propel AFA into its next chapter of impact. This investment will allow us to reach more students, expand access to transformational leadership experiences and strengthen the connections that shape tomorrow's agricultural leaders. Together, we're building on 30 years of momentum to ensure AFA continues to grow into all it is meant to be — where we grow the future of agriculture.

76% OF THE WAY TO OUR GOAL

In an effort to make sure our next 30 years are even more successful, all gifts will support building bridges for young leaders in agriculture, and enhance opportunities in four key areas:

Student Support

Alumni Support

Program Support 

Organizational Support

• Campaigns help us amplify the volume of our mission, and raise the awareness of the leaders we serve. 

• Bridge Ahead will help AFA grow our herd. As news of our achievements reaches more eyes and ears, momentum will build, resources can grow, and our impact grows along with it. 

• There is urgency behind a campaign. We have a tangible goal to raise $30,000,000. And e will succeed in meeting that goal – and hopefully beyond – for the future leaders we serve. 

• Bridge Ahead will allow AFA to grow into who we are meant to be – attracting more students to tap into our mission, and propel our organization forward to support the future of agriculture.
