Grain Donation Form

Please consider a Gift of Grain! The  Blossoming Community Foundation and the Blooming Prairie FFA are excited to be 

partnering again this year for the 2024 Grain Drive! This fundraising drive is an opportunity to help support our local FFA and other non-profits within our community through the Blossoming Community Foundation.


What are we asking for? Please consider a Gift of Grain! Your donation will have a tremendous positive impact for the local Blooming Prairie FFA program along with the Blossoming Community Foundation with their vision to support the Blooming Prairie community.


The BP FFA currently has 65 enthusiast student members. These kids are excited to learn and continue to support causes that have been part of the Blooming Prairie FFA tradition for many years. Since the FFA lost 7 acres of their test plot, this fundraiser will help them recoup a portion of that loss from their general fund.

  • The FFA will be donating 50% of their raised funds to Camp Courage. Camp Courage is a non-profit camp located in Maple Lake, MN. The camps mission is to provide life changing experiences that enhance independence and self-esteem for children and adults with disabilities. They solely rely on donations to keep this wonderful program running.
  • The remaining 50% raised will go towards the BP FFA General Fund which supports:
  • Supplies
  • Field Trips
  • State National Convention. In 2022, 8 students and 2 chaperones were able to travel and represent the Blooming Prairie FFA!


The Blossoming Community Foundation's mission is "To Improve the quality of life for present and future generations by supporting Blooming Prairie projects that focus on Community, Arts, Recreation and Education."

  • The BCF accepts applications 2X per year from local non-profit organizations. The goal is to continue to grow and extend its reach to have a positive impact within our community by helping these important local organizations, such as the BP Youth Club, Boy Scouts and Servicemen's Club... these are just a few of our wonderful local non-profits that provide services to Blooming Prairie residents.



Who Qualifies?

Cash basis farmers who are delivering any grain crop. For donors who actively engage in farming on a cash basis, significant tax savings can be found through donating grain directly to the 2023 Grain Drive.

By donating directly, the cash basis farmer can exclude the sale of grain from income, which could result in a triple tax savings:

  • Federal Income Tax Savings
  • State Income Tax Savings
  • Self-employment Tax Savings.

**Donors should always consult with their professional tax and/or legal advisors to determine

the tax implications specific to their situation prior to making the gift.**



How it Works

  • Deliver the grain to the elevator and let the operator know your wish to transfer XX number of bushels to the 2024 Grain Drive and provide the required completed Grain Donation Form.
  • You must give up dominion or control over the grain and cannot offer guidance on when to sell the grain. The grain will be sold the date it is delivered.
  • The BCF / BP FFA will be notified of the grain donation. You will be sent a letter of acknowledgment as receipt.
  • Gifts of Grain can be made from the current or previous year's harvest.


Thank you!

We appreciate your support !
