Our Commitment

Dedicated to supporting our rural communities through volunteering, local contributions, grants and more.

Overview

 

Each dot on this map represents a project, program or organization supported by our 2022 community involvement program.

Serving rural America means more than financing those who farm and ranch.

As a mission-driven financial cooperative, we believe in serving and enriching the rural communities where we live and work.

Our community involvement program focuses on ag education, young and beginning producers, hunger and nutrition, rural disaster relief and essential services. We support these initiatives through employee volunteering, financial contributions and grants.

Agriculture Education

We support a variety of efforts related to ag education including farm safety courses, urban and rural community outreach, and more.

Kansas FFA has a rich and deep history. The organization brought back its quarterly Kansas Future Farmer magazine to celebrate and highlight its legacy with readers across the state.

Young and Beginning Producers

We believe in providing education, experiences and resources for those starting in agriculture. Frontier Farm Credit supports 4-H and FFA programs, awards college scholarships, hosts an annual Side by Side Conference and provides grants for a variety of young and beginning initiatives.

In Our Communities

Employees participate in our community involvement program through hands-on volunteer efforts. Annually, each employee is allocated eight hours of paid time to volunteer for an organization they choose to support. We also match employees’ donations to nonprofit organizations up to $300 per employee each year.

In 2022, employees volunteered nearly 800 hours in their local communities through virtual and socially distanced efforts.
