When you contribute to the Rock Island County Extension & 4-H
Education Foundation, you are directly fueling the growth of Extension
and 4-H programs that enrich lives within your very own community. Our
Foundation's unwavering annual support and grants play a pivotal role in
ensuring the financial strength of Rock Island County's 4-H and
Extension initiatives.
Annually, the Foundation
contributes $7,000 to program operations and extends additional support as requested by the Rock Island County Extension unit. This support
spans a diverse range, from energizing 4-H kickoff events and enabling
participation in state 4-H programs, to offering essential backing for
4-H clubs and members. Scholarships for Master Gardener training,
sponsorship of pivotal 4-H programs and equipment procurement, and the
fostering of 4-H Awards also feature in our commitment.
Our 4-H Pork Chop Dinner & Pie Auction Fundraiser takes
center stage each spring. Beyond that, we engage in donation drives,
oversee endowments, and collaborate with the Rock Island Rotary Club to
award five scholarships to deserving 4-H members and alumni.
Elevate the future with us, one meaningful contribution at a time.
