Join Our December Giving Campaign

This December, we invite you to empower the next generation of agricultural leaders -- the Grade 6 students sitting in classrooms today who will graduate from high school Six Harvests from Now.

Our goal is to raise $20,000 to bring free, high-quality agricultural education to classrooms across Manitoba. Thanks to our generous partner, MacDon Industries, every donation you make will be matched dollar-for-dollar until December 31!

Why Your Support Matters 

Six harvests from now, today’s Grade 6 students will graduate.

As voters, consumers, policy makers, leaders, and innovators, they will begin making decisions that impact Manitoba’s agriculture industry. Will they understand the importance of supporting local farms, sustainable food systems, and agriculture careers?  

With your help, they will. 

Your support bridges a crucial gap, ensuring that students across the province have the resources to learn about agriculture’s role in the economy, make informed decisions, and consider careers in Manitoba’s agriculture sector. Government funding only covers one-third of our costs; we rely on donors like you to help us meet the growing demand from schools.  

The Impact of Your Donation 

Every dollar donated will go twice as far to reach more students. Here’s how your gift makes an impact: 

  • $75 – Sponsors one classroom of 25 students, providing essential agricultural resources. 

  • $150 – Supports two classrooms eager to learn where their food comes from. 

  • $300 – Equips 100 students with tools to make informed choices. 

  • $500 or more – Helps reach more classrooms and develop new resources for Manitoba schools. 

And now, every donation between December 2 and 31 will be matched by MacDon Industries, helping us reach our goal of $20,000! 

Why Support Agriculture Education?

Your Support Changes Lives

The knowledge we bring into classrooms transforms how students understand and engage with agriculture. Here’s what teachers are saying about some of our programs and resources:

"Thank you for having us! It was such an amazing learning experience for my grade 3 class! Very well organized and awesome volunteers! Will definitely be using the great resources for my soil and plants units and in our daily ELA and Health activities!"
- Tanya Cote, Teacher

"Working in a farming community, my students felt proud, ridiculously enthusiastic, and thrived while making meaningful connections to their own lives and were ecstatic to share while participating with the live events."
- Kristen McAuley, Teacher, Warren Elementary School, Grade 4

"We used the Cultivate Your Career kit as part of an inquiry project on the 94 Calls to Action. We chose eating healthy as our topic. I am very thankful for this amazing resource for my classroom. I will be using it again next year in much of my teaching."
- Candace Liebrecht, Grade 5/6 Teacher
