Whether you’re launching a new FFA Alumni and Supporters chapter or revitalizing an inactive one, both situations require the same form. This article explains how to fill out the form. However, the way you access it will differ based on the process you select.
Explore how to create a new chapter or reactivate an inactive one.
-
Enter the Chapter Name
The chapter name must end in “FFA Alumni and Supporters“
-
Select a Chapter Type (i.e., Traditional, Collegiate, Corporate or Past State Officer)
-
Optional – If Traditional is chosen as the Chapter Type, you can select the FFA Chapters they want to support.
-
Only active FFA chapters are listed.
-
FFA chapters that are already supported are marked as “unavailable.”
Select an FFA Chapter from the list and click Add. Repeat for each chapter.
Click the trash can to remove chapters added by mistake.

Add the Mailing, Billing and Shipping addresses
IMPORTANT:
Local teachers/advisors are paid employees of the school district. Legally, if a separate 501(c)(3) entity (e.g., an FFA Alumni and Supporters chapter) uses a school’s address and a school employee (paid by the school district) receives the mail, the organization may be subject to the school district’s guidelines and operating procedures. As a result, the school district might require all funds of the entity to be turned over and managed by the school district. Therefore, alumni chapters should avoid using the school’s address and having local teachers/advisors receive mail on behalf of the alumni chapter.
Helpful tip!

-
Add the Primary Alumni Leader Information
This alumni leader will receive an email inviting them to request administrative access to the chapter after the process is complete.
-
Enter the Billing Contact Information
The Billing Contact is the person who should receive invoices from National FFA.
If more than one person needs to receive invoices, you can add multiple email addresses by separating them with a semicolon. The max character limit is 80, including spaces.
Group email addresses are also acceptable (e.g., arleealumni@gmail.com). You can use an existing group email address or create a new one.
