Enable - Inspire - Achieve

The MFA Foundation was established in 1958 with the primary purpose of providing greater educational opportunity for the youth in our trade territory.

The Foundation's major activity is its Scholarship Program, which has provided financial assistance to nearly 16,000 college and university students from rural communities since its initiation in 1965.

Every spring, approximately 300 scholarships are available for graduating high school seniors. The scholarships are sponsored by the MFA Foundation and local MFA agencies.

While the college scholarship program constitutes the main thrust of the MFA Foundation, the Foundation also pursues other worthwhile projects. The MFA Foundation makes gifts directly and generally, in an unrestricted manner, to private colleges. 

The Foundation also contributes to programs that are consistent with it's original purpose of providing educational opportunity for youth. Included in these programs are: The Missouri 4-H Foundation, Missouri FFA Association and Missouri Young Farmers Association.

In addition, the MFA Foundation administers special scholarship programs and has also made substantial contributions to the University of Missouri College of Agricultue, Food and Natural Resources.

The MFA Foundation is incorporated under the laws of the State of Missouri. Officers and directors are officers and employees of MFA agencies and serve without compensation from the Foundation.

The MFA Foundation is a collaboration among MFA Incorporated, its local affiliates, joint venture partners and MFA Oil Company.
