Aurora Cooperative is proud to announce the recipients of its 2025 Matching Grant Program. In collaboration with CoBank, this program aims to support local communities and initiatives. This year’s grants have been awarded to two exceptional projects in the categories of agriculture safety and agriculture education, aligning with our mission to create value for our owners, their communities, and the future of agriculture. CoBank matched our donation at $7,500 for each of these projects for a grand total of $30,000!

Ag Safety

Wilcox Rural Fire Protection District, Wilcox, NE – To assist in the purchase of a new ambulance with modern equipment.

Ag Education

Minden Schools Foundation, Minden, NE – This grant helps fund the construction of a greenhouse and ag building for the Ag/FFA programs.

Both projects were carefully selected based on their impact and significance to the vitality of our communities and the field of agriculture. Through these grants, Aurora Cooperative is not only providing financial support but also fostering innovation and sustainability within our agricultural communities.
