(YUBA-SUTTER) – The Yuba River Endowment Board of Directors votes to donate $40,000 dollars to the Marysville High School FFA chapter, officials confirm.

The Endowment regularly contributes to local FFA chapters, scholarship funds and community initiatives. Last year, the group made a $40,000 dollar donation to Marysville High School, which students used to attend the FFA National Convention…as well as career and leadership development events.

The Yuba River Endowment was established in 2019 by farmers in Yuba County who perform water transfers through the Yuba Water Agency.
