Nebraska 4-H Foundation

Supporting Our Youth

About the Nebraska 4-H Foundation

The Nebraska 4-H Foundation seeks and administers financial resources to support positive youth development through 4-H.

 

Follow the 4-H Truck "On The Road to Excellence" at ne4hfoundation.blogspot.com today and read all about how the Foundation is raising money and awareness for an excellent program... 4-H! 

 

 

 

Begun in 1958, the Nebraska  4-H Foundation has grown into a vital organization which raises funds from corporations, individuals and organizations to support the 4-H programs at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

Many of our donors and sponsors come from 4-H backgrounds and want to "give back" to the organization which helped shape them into the citizens they are today.  Others have seen the positive impact that 4-H has had upon youth and support the mission of the Foundation and the vital role that 4-H plays in Nebraska.

Corporations, individuals, businesses and other organizations support the 4-H Foundation because they know they are investing in an organization that helps produce young people who are better prepared to be effective leaders, well-rounded citizens, and valuable employees.

 

 

Specifically, the 4-H Foundation supports:

  • The annual PASE/Life Challenge event at UNL, in cooperation with the         Nebraska Investment Finance Authority (NIFA)
  • The Governor's Agricultural Excellence Awards, again    in cooperation with  NIFA
  • Premium awards to 4-H youth exhibitors at the Nebraska State Fair
  • Capital construction and maintenance at the 4-H Camps (State, South Central, and Eastern)
  • National award trips for 4-H youth competitors
  • College scholarships
  • 4-H leader recognition through the Salute to Excellence awards sponsored by  Nebraska Farm Bureau
  • 4-H recognition and incentives
  • Program development

None of these activities are accomplished without the support of our sponsors and donors.  Are you ready to commit to helping us "make the best better?"
