Mission

The mission of the Nebraska 4-H Foundation is to seek and manage contributions that best meet the needs and advance the interests of Nebraska 4-H Club work. This includes maintaining 4-H camps and centers for instructive and recreational purposes.

Programs and Activities

The Foundation supports the educational efforts of the Nebraska 4-H Youth Development Program by funding new 4-H programs and improving existing ones at the county, district, and state levels. It awards annual program grants to support innovative programs, meet emerging local needs, or pilot new efforts. Contributions benefit various program areas, including teen and adult leadership education, volunteer programs, member recognition, project clinics, camps, counselor training, teen leader clubs, livestock and non-livestock events.

Support and Funding

The Nebraska 4-H Foundation relies on private support from individuals, businesses, and organizations. While financial support for 4-H is also provided by federal, state, and county governments, public funds cannot fully support all 4-H program needs or be used for awards, incentives, recognition, and volunteer development. Thus, donor support is vital to the Foundation's success.

Role in the Community

The Foundation plays a significant role in developing Nebraska's youth by funding initiatives that promote positive youth development opportunities. These opportunities prepare young people to become healthy, capable, and ready to engage in school, work, and life, aligning with the broader mission of Nebraska 4-H.
