Bayer AG (BAYRY) on Tuesday said it was donating more than $6
million to 4-H and FFA programs through its nonprofit Bayer
Fund.
Bayer said, "The funds will provide multi-year support for many
of the key programs and activities for which the two premier youth
organizations are known today. These include hands-on science
activities for learning, engaging within their communities, and
developing strong leadership skills among young people."
The multi-year, multi-million-dollar commitment will help the
organizations to "develop future leaders in food and agriculture
for generations to come," the company said.
Bayer said its more than $6 million commitment "is in addition
to grants directed to rural school districts, nonprofits and local
4-H clubs and FFA chapters through the America's Farmers programs,
a nationwide effort dedicated to strengthening farm communities
across the U.S.," which is sponsored by Bayer Fund.
