4-H Foundations

These foundations support educational opportunities for current and potential members of the 4-H community. Efforts and support from 4-H Foundations are instrumental in supporting Extension programming and bringing the resources from University of Illinois to local communities. Each counties’ 4-H foundation assists with costs for 4-H members to attend state and national events and provides valuable financial support for overall Extension programming with an annual agreement.
