Domino's Pizza has made a five-year, $1.5 million commitment to the National FFA Organization, according to a press release.

The partnership, which begins this year and continues through 2026, will fund agriculture experience grants, collegiate scholarships, educational resources on sustainable agriculture and other sustainable agriculture initiatives. The sustainability-related educational resources will include lesson sets and training for educators and learning modules for students. Content will focus on topics like climate change, water conservation, soil health, waste management and the United Nations sustainable development goals.

"The work done by the National FFA Organization delivers a significant difference to its members, and its impact goes beyond the students, as the agriculture industry touches nearly every industry and neighborhood," Jenny Fouracre-Petko, Domino's spokesperson, said in the release. "We know without farmers we wouldn't have pizza to serve. Supporting the future of the agriculture industry is a key piece of Domino's stewardship strategy."

In December 2021, Domino's released its inaugural stewardship report announcing its decision to set and reach Science Based Targets to improve its environmental footprint, and committed to achieving net zero emissions by 2050. Domino's believes advancements in agriculture will be key to achieving these ambitious and critical goals.

"Domino's is focused on promoting the long-term resiliency of farmers through its relationships with groups like the Dairy Sustainability Alliance and, of course, FFA. We look forward to seeing what the next five years look like, not just for Domino's and FFA, but the agriculture industry as a whole," Fouracre-Petko said in the release.

Domino's has supported the National FFA Organization since 2017, when it made a five-year, $1 million commitment.

Domino's operates more than 18,800 stores in more than 90 markets.
