Campaign to end Dec. 31

Abbey Miller<abmiller@msu.edu>, Communications Manager, Michigan 4-H Foundation - October 30, 2018

The multi-year Campaign for Michigan 4-H’s Future will end Dec. 31, 2018.

I am 4-H. You are 4-H. Together we are the campaign for Michigan 4-H's future.

As of Oct. 15, 2018, total giving for the Campaign for Michigan 4-H’s Future totaled $11.98 million – 96 percent of the $12.5 million campaign goal – with just over $500,000 to go by December 31.

Here’s how you can make an impact and support 4-H through one or more of the following:

4-H program support provides science literacy, healthy lifestyles, leadership and civic engagement, workforce readiness and financial literacy.
4-H volunteer development ensures that 4-H volunteers are recognized, trained and supported for their work with youth.
Facilities improvement maintains place-based learning at Kettunen Center and/or the Michigan 4-H Children’s Gardens.
Endowments established provide perpetual support for 4-H programs or facilities.

As you consider your giving, reflect on what it is that you care most about in 4-H – whether that is empowering youth, training volunteers, growing a local or statewide endowment, or documenting a planned or estate gift in support of Michigan 4-H can leave a legacy for years to come and help toward the campaign goal.

Gifts must be received by Dec. 31, 2018 to count toward campaign totals.
