Projects such as purchasing grain bin safety equipment, improving ambulance services, filling local food shelves, enhancing access to local healthcare and more will be considered for funding.

The top three finalists will travel all-expenses-paid to the CHS Annual Meeting Dec. 5-6, 2024, in Minneapolis, Minn., to present their ideas to a live audience. CHS Annual Meeting attendees will cast their votes to determine the first-, second- and third -place grant winners.
