Get a great credit card
and help a great cause




As a member of Illinois Farm Bureau, you know how important it is to teach kids about agriculture. But, given today’s busy lifestyles, sometimes that’s harder than it sounds.

Well, here’s some good news… you can help do your part to teach kids about farming by just barely lifting a finger. All you have to do is use your IFB Visa credit card! It’s true — you’ll start supporting IAITC with your very first purchase.

Here’s how it works. Every time you use the card to make a purchase, the IAA Credit Union makes a contribution to the Illinois Agriculture in the Classroom program. Your contribution helps provide classroom resources, lesson plans about Illinois agriculture, training for teachers and volunteers, and teacher and county grants.

Last year alone, IAITC helped nearly 500,000 kids better understand where their food and fiber comes from.

There’s even more good news. The IFB Visa comes with no fees attached. There are no annual fees or hidden fees of any kind. It has a low variable rate based off the prime rate, so you won’t see any surprise jumps. You can use it for all your purchases — business or pleasure — since it’s accepted worldwide.

Not only is the IFB Visa a great card, it helps a great cause. To get yours, simply go to iaafoundation.org and click on the IFB Visa card. With the IFB Visa, giving has never been easier.

Mary Cox is the manager of the Coles County Farm Bureau.
