Annual Fund
Support Massachusetts 4-H by making a gift to the Annual Fund
Why give to the Annual Fund?
Your support is needed to ensure that youth in Massachusetts can continue to experience life-enriching opportunities and learn important life skills. In order to coordinate state 4-H programs and activities, private support is needed.
What is the Annual Fund?
The Annual Fund is the source of recurring, unrestricted dollars to meet 4-H program expenses each year. Those dollars enable the Foundation to accomplish its mission to enrich and advance 4-H programs across the Commonwealth.
The nearly 2,500 Massachusetts 4-Hers between the ages of 5 and 18 benefit from 4-H programs funded in whole or in part by the Foundation. Whether it is traditional animal care, gardening or craft club; a babysitter training class; a summer STEM or coding program; visual presentations; or other activities, Annual Fund dollars are critical to its success and to the growth and development of each participating 4-Her.
How will my contributions be used?
The unrestricted Annual Fund ensures the future of 4-H and allows us to remain flexible to support the growth of new 4-H programs and other needs as they arise. 100% of Annual Fund donations go directly to 4-H programming statewide!
By making a donation you can feel proud, knowing that you are making a difference in the lives of our most important resource – our future citizens. Join us in growing confident, capable, caring kids – youth with skills for work and skills for life.
