Extending our positive impact

Stewardship Supporting the ag industry and co-op communities CHS invests in programs that strengthen hometown communities and develop future generations of ag leaders through CHS community giving and the CHS Foundation. These initiatives support CHS sustainability efforts and long-term focus on people and rural communities. Progress on stewardship impact goals In fiscal year 2025, CHS and the CHS Foundation invested nearly $8.7 million to implement the second year of our 2024-2026 stewardship strategic plan. Building on our first-year momentum, we made significant progress toward achieving our three-year goals, demonstrating the positive impact that we make on cultivating tomorrow’s agriculture leaders and helping communities thrive.
