Our Mission

The Ontario 4-H Foundation was started in 1998 and is a federally incorporated charitable organization. Its mandate is to receive and manage endowment funds and to encourage on-going partnerships that will ensure the long-term sustainability of 4-H Ontario. Income from the Foundation is used to train 4-H volunteers, develop timely new 4-H projects and provide funding for provincial 4-H events.

Trustees of the Ontario 4-H Foundation are responsible men and women experienced in sound financial management, and committed to the future of 4-H in Ontario.
