Monsanto is a proud sponsor of the Narrabri branch of the Country Education Foundation, providing up to $2500 (at least four grants) to assist students in the Narrabri and Wee Waa areas with their educational or vocational goals.

The Country Education Foundation raises funds to provide grants to young members of the community who need a helping hand to make a successful transition from high school to further study or into a chosen vocation.

The Art Auction is the Narrabri Education Foundation’s principal fund-raising event. In 2008, 46 paintings by invited artists from Narrabri and further afield were auctioned with proceeds going to the foundation.
