If a 4-H club is going to engage in fundraising, it is to be done for a specific educational program or activity. The fundraising activity is to be developed as an educational experience for members. Through raising and spending funds, 4-H members can learn:
To handle and account for funds
-
To plan and carry out a money-raising activity
-
To support other club members and the community
-
To work as a team member and develop self-reliance
Fundraising is not a 4-H group's major objective. Individual 4-H clubs have no need for a large treasury. Funds are to be raised for specific purposes, including community service projects and assisting youth who do not have resources to participate without financial help. Fundraising by a club is to be confined to the county or community, and any fundraising activity is to be reported to a County 4-H agent or County Extension director before it is undertaken. |
