The SJFB Foundation usually hosts 2-3 fundraisers each year. These events enable us to provide two programs for local teachers so they can learn more about the importance of agriculture in our region. Each year we reach between 20-40 teachers as we present to them the material to make sure agriculture is a relevant topic in their classroom.

One of the other major uses of our program funds is to fund scholarships for local students. This enables us to help our future leaders achieve their educational goals so they are better prepared to lead us in the future.

Our SJFB Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization so many individuals donate to our group as a charitable donation. Please consult with a tax accountant when making contributions.

HOW YOU CAN HELP

1. Donate to the Foundation in any amount. Checks can be made directly to the SJFB Foundation and mailed to: 3290 N. Ad Art Road, Stockton, CA 95215.
2. Attend a Foundation event - see below for more details.
3. Create a Memorial Fund to donate in memory of a loved one. If you know a strong supporter of agriculture, make a contribution in his or her name to ensure that educating the youth of this region about our industry takes place in the future and that this practice carries on in memory of this special person.
