Community Service Grants - A project providing seed money for 4-H
Youth to implement local community service activities.
Grant applications are due to your county 4-H Educator/Agent prior to the January 30, 2010 postmark date.
Grant Information and Applications
Who can apply?
Any Wisconsin 4- H club or group of 4-H clubs can apply for a grant. We encourage 4-H members to fill out this application themselves, or in partnership with an adult.
What kinds of projects can get support?
The 4-H Community Service Grant seek to support 4-H clubs' community service projects that…
- Are determined and led by youth, with support from adults;
- Have a lasting, positive impact on the community; and,
- Involve organizations and individuals outside of 4-H as partners.
Funding that goes directly to another organization as a charitable contribution is not available.
How do we apply?
- Identify a project that will benefit or improve your community.
- Determine what you will need in terms of money and other resources to do your project.
- Fill out the enclosed application and submit it to your county's 4-H Youth Development agent.
You can ask for $50 - $200 from the 4-H Community Service Grant program. However, the grant cannot cover the entire cost of a project. Your club will have to supplement the grant with club funds, ask for in-kind donations, hold a fundraiser, or look to other sources to get everything you need for your project. Please note that there is a total of $2,000 available this year for grants.
The citizenship curriculum, Public Adventures, can help groups plan and carry out their community work. Request a copy from your county 4-H Youth Development Staff.
What is expected of us if
we are awarded a grant?
- Acknowledge the support of the 4-H Foundation and of We Energies in the publicity for your community service project. Let people know that they've helped you!
- Submit a final report to your county 4-H Youth Development agent and the 4-H Foundation, explaining how you've used the money and what you've accomplished, by September 1, 2010. Include photos and any press releases with your report, please!
