Progressive Agriculture Foundation Partnership Opportunities
MISSION
Provide education, training, and resources to make farm, ranch, and rural life safer and healthier for all children, their families, and their communities.
VISION
No child would become ill, injured, or die from farm, ranch, and rural activities.
WHY IT MATTERS
Agriculture remains one of the most dangerous industries—especially for children. With high injury frequencies and severe outcomes, this sector underscores the critical need for hands-on safety education. Programs like Progressive Agriculture Safety Day® (PAF Safety Day) are vital—transforming awareness into action and helping protect youth from predictable and preventable tragedies.
98% of students will adopt at least one new safety behavior.
*based on 2025 parent survey data as of June 2025.

WHY PARTNER WITH US
Partnering with the Progressive Agriculture Foundation (PAF) allows your company to make a measurable impact by protecting kids, families, and rural communities through life-saving safety education. Our PAF Safety Days provide unique employee engagement opportunities, strengthen community connections, and position your brand as a leader in corporate social responsibility. With more than 2 million lives reached since 1995, your support helps prevent injuries, save lives, and build safer communities.
Impact Support: Our impact partners provide general operating support to play a vital role in sustaining and strengthening PAF. This un-restricted funding gives us the flexibility to meet urgent needs, strengthen programs, and continue delivering life-saving safety education to communities.
Employee Engagement: Partnering with PAF creates meaningful employee engagement by giving your team hands-on opportunities to deliver safety lessons in their own communities. Employees not only build pride and connection through service, but also help protect local youth and families — turning corporate values into visible action.
PREVENTION EDUCATION MATTERS
According to the Marshfield Clinic Research Institute, every three days a child dies from an agriculture-related Incident. Safety programs have shown the ability to reduce injury rates by 20%.
TESTIMONIAL
“One of our volunteers said her adult daughter still talks about and remembers the tractor safety blind spot session from a PAF Safety Day she attended 10 years ago. She now is a mechanic who works on tractors ... so it remains important in her life. It’s good to hear of some of the lasting impressions we can make!”
- Lana Likens PAF Safety Day Coordinator Fairbury, Nebraska
