Leadership Circle

The Kentucky 4-H Foundation is fortunate to work with numerous individuals, businesses, and community organizations to fulfill our mission of funding opportunities for Kentucky’s 4-H’ers. While our mission remains the same the needs of 4-H’ers, program staff, and volunteers change, sometimes drastically and without any notice. We are extremely grateful for the flexibility allowed by gifts made to the Foundation’s Annual Fund.

As a Leadership Circle member your gift of $1000 to the Annual Fund allows the Foundation to meet the varying needs of the Kentucky 4-H program. (For example, due to the generosity of our 2019 Leadership Circle donors, we were able to fund $10,000 in mini-grant to directly support county 4-H programs during the COVID-19 pandemic.)

The Kentucky 4-H Foundation Leadership Circle was established in 2011 as a way of recognizing our appreciation for these generous unrestricted donations. Upon their first gift donors receive a special lapel pin, presented at the Kentucky State Fair Annual Appreciation Breakfast. Donors also receive pins for 3, 5, and 10 years of consecutive Leadership Circle gifts.

The Leadership Circle program operates on a calendar year basis.
