The Maryland 4-H Foundation

The Maryland 4-H Foundation was founded in 1959 to support Maryland 4-H Programs through its six Pillars of Purpose: Provide Scholarship to 4-H members, furthering their education; implement opportunities for Leadership Development; support the growth of 4-H in Maryland's Communities; provide funding for Project-Based State and National Trips; expand International 4-H Experiences; and recognize the generosity of our Volunteers and Donors. From awards ceremonies to tournaments to fundraisers, the Maryland 4-H Foundation has sponsored many 4-H events over the years. Regardless of the event taking place, the Maryland 4-H Foundation has built and managed the financial resources to support Maryland youth in reaching their fullest potential as competent, caring, and responsible individuals through Maryland 4-H Programs.

Help Support the Maryland 4-H Foundation

The Maryland 4-H Foundation provides financial support to the Maryland 4-H program through club, county, regional, and state events; national project and leadership-based trips; scholarships; and much more. Through fundraising events, online and mailed donations, investments, and grants, we are able to provide over $1,000,000 in program support annually. Of every $1.00 donated, $0.84 goes directly to the Maryland 4-H program.
