Growing Donors

Here are some of the youths’ personal responses:

• “I’ve learned how to communicate more effectively with donors.”

• “It’s fun to tell someone why 4-H is so important to me.”

• “Our 4-H Teen Council was able to build a handicapped accessible ramp to our 4-H building with the funds we raised.”

• “It’s exciting to raise money so our programs can help more kids.”

In the end, it’s not as much about raising money as it is nurturing young people’s philanthropic spirit as they engage donors in the mission of their organizations.
