Ag Days Gives Backs 2025 Recipients
Ag Days Gives Backs 2025 Recipients
Manitoba Ag Days enters its second decade of investing in rural communities and agriculture education through the Ag Days Gives Back program. 100% of the funds raised through the Manitoba Ag Days 50/50 are used to support K-12 ag education, post secondary ag education and community organizations throughout Manitoba and Saskatchewan. This represents a commitment of over half a million dollars since the program’s inception in 2013.
Our fifteen 2025 Community Grant Recipients include a wide variety of types of non-profit organizations. Each recipient was awarded $2000 toward the completion of their project.

This year the scholarship criteria expanded to include any post secondary education and training related to agriculture. The recipients of the 2025 Ag Days Gives Back Scholarships of $2000 each were:
Sweet Aurestelle Selma – Assiniboine College
Zoey Murray – University of Manitoba
Gideon Hamstra – University of Manitoba
Manitoba Ag Days also awarded the Education and Leadership Grant in the amount of $15,000 to Agriculture in the Classroom – Manitoba.
Applications for the next round of Ag Days Gives Back grants and scholarships will open in the fall and be awarded at the 2026 show, which runs from Tuesday, January 20 – Thursday, January 22, 2026. A huge thank you goes out to everyone who supported the 50/50 at the 2025 show. The 2025 jackpot was $185,370 which means the winners, Faith, Ken and Melissa, took home $92,685! It also means that the Ag Days Gives Back fund can have a larger community impact than ever before. We look forward to investing these funds in the communities where our exhibitors and patrons live.
