Delaware 4H Foundation - Annual Giving CampaignEach year the Foundation conducts a number of targeted solicitations to gain funding that is needed for specific projects. There are different benefits to each type of funding for the Foundation and the overall 4-H program. The Foundation has identified areas where funds are allocated each year in support of the Delaware 4-H Program. Four target areas were identified and initial endowments created. Within each area, specific opportunities exist where family, friends, and supporters can ensure that funds are available for key activities each year.

The Foundation has identified areas where funds are allocated each year in support of the Delaware 4-H Program. Four target areas were identified and initial endowments created. Within each area, specific opportunities exist where family, friends, and supporters can ensure that funds are available for key activities each year. To accomplish this, the Foundation is seeking support to establish several endowments.

Each of these endowment funds will be managed in the investment pool, with only the annual earnings being used to offset the costs of the program expenditure each year.
