There are many ways to lead, but the FFA way stands out among all others. The FFA blue jacket is a symbol of this distinction. With the Give the Gift of Blue program, FFA donors have helped provide more than 18,000 blue jackets to FFA members in need who are each reminded that they are a part of something bigger than themselves. This support inspires them to learn, grow and serve.
Thank you to our donors!
Beyond its place in Official Dress, an FFA corduroy jacket is an article of faith, honor and pride.
The jacket unifies members in a long-standing tradition and reminds them that they are part of something bigger than themselves. Let’s give every member the chance to be part of the tradition. With the help of generous donations, National FFA gives jackets to members who would not otherwise be able to own their own. An $85 gift will provide a member with a jacket and tie or scarf; a donation of any amount helps. Donate now to Give the Gift of Blue.
National FFA is a nonprofit 501(c)(3). Your donation is tax-deductible; you will receive an email receipt for tax purposes.

Since the start of the program, we have received hundreds of donations to Give the Gift of Blue. Numerous individual donors, including Don and Mira Ball, have shown their support by providing jackets for deserving members. The Balls’ donation created an endowment to the National FFA Foundation to gift FFA jackets to members for years to come. Support has also come from corporate partners like Corteva Agriscience. Since 2014, more than 18,000 jackets have been gifted to deserving students in all 52 associations.
