Lending a helping hand is not a new concept, especially in the vast Agriculture and Energy industries. Since 1905 farmers, ranchers, agriculturists, and other stewards of the land have worked together to make the Cooperative what it is today. Agfinity is honored to provide community support to our diverse and growing Colorado communities through scholarship opportunities, school programs, county fair support, and local events. Learn how we are investing in our local communities in today’s post.
Scholarship Opportunities
Lifelong Learning is a core value at Agfinity, which is why we have the Stalwart Agfinity Scholarship program. Each year the Cooperative presents scholarships to students who are or will be attending an accredited four-year college or an accredited two-year technical school or community college pursuing higher education. Scholarship requirements are shared at the beginning of the year with a mid-March deadline.
In 2021, Agfinity will be awarding up to $25,000 in scholarship funds. The application process for the scholarship program gives students the choice to record a 3-minute video or write a 700-word essay on the topic, “How has Agriculture impacted your passion to pursue higher education?”. In addition to the video or essay, a reference letter from at least one employer, instructor, counselor, or advisor is required. Applications are due by Sunday, March 14, 2021, 11:59 PM.

School Programs
School programs are essential to our rural and urban communities. We proudly invest in resources for classrooms, sports programs, and SAE projects.
Our support for school programs extends not only to the students but to the teaching staff as well. Through Colorado’s FFA Teacher Mentorship program we are helping teachers grow their knowledge and skills and furthermore positively impacting students.
County Fairs
The list of benefits that 4-H and FFA programs provide young adults is long. They build self-confidence and leadership skills that will be utilized throughout their life, which is why Agfinity supports these organizations.
Our investment in Colorado 4-H and FFA includes county fair support and add-ons as well as annual donations to ensure that the next generation of farmers and ranchers have access to the most innovative resources.
Local events
Local events help our communities thrive. We are honored to be supporting events that tie back to our agricultural heritage such as the Greeley Stampede, Colorado State Fair, local rodeos, fundraising events, and other causes. These types of events stimulate economic growth in the communities we are pleased to serve.
