CHS Community Investment

Creating a strong future for rural America.

At CHS, we recognize we wouldn’t have success without our rural communities. For us, giving back is essential to our business. 

The CHS Foundation supports education and leadership development in rural America through funding of adult education and leadership programs. CHS gives priority to innovative and collaborative approaches to address emerging issues and opportunities in rural communities. 

CHS Seeds for Stewardship

Shaping the future of agriculture, the new CHS Seeds for Stewardship program matches dollars for projects in your community. Cooperatives can help grow pride in their community by applying for matching funds to support community projects.

When organizations in rural communities look for support, cooperatives across rural America step up and lend a hand. Many cooperatives give back locally through volunteer hours and donations. Over the past few years, CHS owners have spoken up , sharing their stores of local contributions made to keep rural communities thriving. 

CHS Stewardship has launched the Seeds for Stewardship (SFS) program to help owners and local organizations grow their impact on communities. The new competitive matching grants program allows cooperatives to apply for matching funds up to $5,000 for local projects ranging from agricultural education to safety.
