The support from the Club Fund can go towards volunteer capacity building, promotion, advertising of the 4-H movement, eliminating barriers to entry, developing existing programs, covering the costs associated with local events, supporting volunteers, or purchasing various resource materials. Together with FCC, we are supporting the development of responsible, caring, and contributing youth leaders across Canada. $100,000 is available in grants of up to $500 per club, district, or region across Canada. Funding requests are encouraged but not limited to focusing on one of the following strategic priorities: growth, inclusion, or volunteer capacity building.
