Community Service Grants - A project providing seed money for 4-H
Youth to implement local community service activities.

Grant Information and Applications
Who can apply?
Any 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 program is looking 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.
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 - $500 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.
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
in the publicity for your community service project. Let people
know that they've helped you!

Development agent and the 4-H Foundation, explaining how you've
