EmailAll 4-H fund-raising activities must be reviewed and approved by the county 4-H program coordinator, before the activity can be held. This is a federal regulation and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) requires such approval for all 4-H groups. Prior staff approval of a 4-H group’s fund-raising activity is important because it:
- Gives the group permission to use the 4-H name and emblem for the fundraising activity.
- Declares the event is an official 4-H fund-raising activity supported by the county program.
- Provides written prior approval of the event so 4-H volunteers are covered through the MSU Indemnification Policy (the University will support volunteers against a suit or legal proceeding when performing services, in this case the 4-H fundraising event).
To begin the review and approval process, the treasurer or the 4-H leader completes and sends the County 4-H Fund-Raiser Application to the county 4-H program coordinator, at least 10 business days before the event. The county 4-H program coordinator will notify the person who submitted the application about whether or not the fund-raiser is approved. The group may hold the fund-raising event only if it receives this approval.
Within 10 business days after the end of the event, the treasurer or the 4-H leader must also submit the County 4-H Fund-Raising Report Form.
For additional information about 4-H fundraising, view the Financial Manual for 4-H Treasurers: Managing Money Wisely or the Financial Manual for 4-H Volunteers: Leading the Way to Financial Accountability.
