I am so pleased to announce, for the second year in a row, we have sent income and program funding records. Thanks to a dedicated board and strong leadership, the Wisconsin 4-H Foundation not only set a new record for gifts received, but surpassed our fiscal goal in doing so! Fiscal year 2007-2008 was a great year raising support for our 4-H youth and their leaders.
This success is due entirely to YOUR help and dedication to Wisconsin 4-H. Our donors have all been generous indeed. Corporations, individuals, county 4-H leaders associations and foundations all gave in unpre-cedented amounts. We saw a record of new endowment funds established. We acquired new corporate partners. Our State 4-H Sponsor program did much better than expected, and our fund raising events were very success-ful. Yes, FY 2007-2008 was a very fine year for us, and for Wisconsin 4-H.
But even as I write this message to you, our invest-ments have taken another big drop. The economy looks more and more grim every day. It is at this precise time that we most need your help. I know we all face tough times ahead, but I also know that if we stand together we can continue to keep Wisconsin 4-H successful in providing positive learning experiences for our youth.
Wisconsin volunteers donate thousands of hours to 4-H, our youth work on hundreds of community service projects, and our 4-H staff provide dedicated expertise – all of these make Wisconsin 4-H strong. And your gifts are a valuable part of our 4-H success.
Please, as the economic times get tighter, remember the good that 4-H has done and continues to do. Remember your gifts to the Foundation do have a large impact on our youth and their future. Remember all gifts are valuable and needed.
Thank you!
Patricia Harrington, Executive Director Wisconsin 4-H Foundation

Community Service GrantsCommunity service has always been a part of Wisconsin 4-H, and each 4-H club does an average of five community service projects every year. To help 4-H youth have a greater impact on their communities, small grants are given out to clubs who are making a difference, involving other groups, and are led by the youth. Wisconsin 4-H Key AwardsThe top 4-H leadership recognition in the state, this award highlights a few youth in each county who have displayed sustained growth in their leadership skills. A Key Award is one of the highest achievements a youth can receive and is highly valued by past recipients.

“4-H has taught me a lot about leadership and the value of a good leader. I have learned to work through problems instead of around them. I know 4-H has prepared me for real life with skills I can use in the workforce and throughout my life. It has
given me confidence that I will carry into adulthood …” — Recent 4-H Alumni, Bayfield County

“Through 4-H, I have learned to take a better photo, to can fresh produce, sew a quilt and much more: however, the most important skills I learned are intangible such as encouraging beginning 4-H members, listening when being taught, having patience during difficult moments, and learning how to win and lose graciously.” — Kaitlyn, Bayfield County
