Education/Community Service Grants
A grant providing seed money for 4-H youth to implement
educational/community service activities
Sponsored by the Outagamie County 4-H Leaders Association
Who can apply? Any 4-H club can apply for a matching grant of up to $75.
- We encourage 4-H members to fill out this application themselves, or in partnership with an adult.
- A second grant of up to $75 can be applied for if club members present their community service activity at the Adult Leaders meeting.
This is a matching grant, meaning that your club is expected to provide the same amount of money to fund the project. The Executive Board will review/approve the grants during their regular scheduled meeting. Allow up to two months for approval/denial of grant request.
Where do the funds come from? Funds for this grant are from the Outagamie County 4-H Leaders Association’s general fund. Fundraisers for the 4-H Leaders Association include the 4-H Dairy Bar during the Outagamie County Fair and the Fall Harvest Dance.
What kinds of projects can get support? The Outagamie County Education/Community Service Grants program is looking to support 4-H clubs’ community service projects that:
- are determined and led by the youth, with support from adults;
- have a lasting, positive impact on the community, and;
- when possible, involve organizations and individuals outside of 4-H as partners.
How do we apply?
- Come up with a project that will benefit or improve your community.
- Figure out what you will need in terms of money and other resources to do your project.
- Fill out the enclosed application and submit it to:
