Forever 4-H Marin Endowment

Please help us grow a sustainable revenue source for Marin 4-H programs

Sustain and Grow Marin 4-H

Since 1920, Marin County 4-H has helped young people, ages 5-18, reach their fullest potential as competent, confident individuals who contribute to and are connected with their communities. Youth serve in leadership roles where they set goals, develop plans, complete projects, and reflect on their experiences. Youth are encouraged to discover their passions, adopt a growth mindset, and practice self-reflection. 4-H projects are focused on civic engagement, healthy living, and STEM.

Help us grow a 4-H endowment

The Forever 4-H Marin County Endowment will provide a sustainable revenue source for Marin 4-H indefinitely.

With the help of a generous anonymous supporter, the Forever 4-H Marin County Endowment was established with a $20,000 principal balance. Additional donations will grow the principle of the endowment – and thus its interest payout funds – to support 4-H youth development programs, events, activities, clubs, projects in Marin County.

Your donation will help grow the endowment to help ensure Marin County 4-H can continue to engage youth in hands-on learning now and into the future.
