NYS 4-H Foundation Grants   Funded Proposals   Reporting Forms

NYS 4-H Foundation grants are offered to county 4-H programs to encourage and support innovation and creativity in programming, providing seed money for ideas that will impact the system.

The New York State 4-H Foundation accepts proposals to fund 4-H programs at the county level. Counties may apply for funds for individual or multi-county initiatives.  Successful projects will have outcomes that are closely aligned with those found in the Guiding Principles for 4-H Youth Development.
