  We're thrilled about giving out such a large amount of money this year, said Josh Merchant, Michigan FFA Foundation executive director.On behalf of the Michigan FFA Foundation and the Michigan Association of FFA, we're very excited to continue to promote agriculture and natural resources education and leadership initiatives and impact communities that might not otherwise have those opportunities..Operated by the Michigan FFA Foundation, the Glassbrook FFA Endowment funds agriculture and natural resources education and leadership initiatives for traditional and non-traditional K-12 programs.Recipients range from rural and urban schools to county Farm Bureaus and local FFA chapters.Nearly 40 applications were submitted for this year's giving.Awardees will receive the grants prior to the March 5-7 State FFA Convention.A grant review committee appointed by the Michigan FFA Foundation board of directors selected recipients based on criteria, such as financial need, targeted population, and a program's uniqueness and sustainability.
  ...
  As well, the committee also gave strong consideration to proposals that teamed applicants with other organizations, Merchant said.Also, we look for programs that might not have another opportunity to promote agriculture and natural resources, especially those targeting youth who may not have a strong understanding or grasp of agriculture and natural resources, he said.It's really nice for us to see programs that have a lot of impact and are hitting a diverse group of individuals..
  ...
  Merchant credits this year's giving to the generous contributions of FFA Foundation donors and supporters.
  
  Here are the recipients for 2001.
