Support 4-H!
Begun in 1958, the Nebraska 4-H Foundation has grown into a vital organization which raises funds from corporations, individuals and organizations to support the 4-H programs at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
Many of our donors and sponsors- individuals, businesses and corporate citizens-come from 4-H backgrounds and want to "give back" to the organization which helped shape them into the citizens they are today. Others have seen the positive impact that 4-H has had upon youth and support the mission of the Foundation and the vital role that 4-H plays in Nebraska.Corporations, individuals, businesses and other organizations 
support the 4-H Foundation because they know they are investing in an organization that helps produce young people who are better prepared to be effective leaders, well-rounded citizens, and valuable employees.
Specifically, the 4-H Foundation supports:
- The annual PASE/Life Challenge event at UNL, in cooperation with the Nebraska Investment Finance Authority (NIFA)
- The Governor's Agricultural Excellence Awards, again in cooperation with NIFA
- Premium awards to 4-H youth exhibitors at the Nebraska State Fair
- Capital construction and maintenance at the 4-H Camps (State, South Central, and Eastern)
- National award trips for 4-H youth competitors
- College scholarships
- 4-H leader recognition through the Salute to Excellence awards sponsored by Nebraska Farm Bureau
- 4-H recognition and incentives
- Program development
None of these activities are accomplished without the support of our sponsors and donors. Are you ready to commit to helping us "make the best better?"
