Welcome to the Indiana 4-H Foundation!

Miss America 2009, Katie Stam, Speaks Out about Indiana 4-H!

Katie Stam woke up very early on Thursday, September 2nd to be in a feature interview on Channel 18 in Lafayette. Katie not only spoke about her year as Miss America, but also about how her 10 years in Indiana 4-H helped to prepare her for that challenging and exciting role. You can watch the video of her morning interview here. Be sure to keep an eye out for her Indiana 4-H PSAs on Channel 18 and here on our website, too! We're very thankful for Katie and all of our Indiana 4-H alums and their willingness to speak out about how 4-H helped them to develop them into strong leaders and active citizens. You can share your story by emailing info@in.4h.org. Please put "My 4-H Story" in the subject line.

Text-to-Give: Help us meet our Challenge!

We need your help! The Indiana 4-H Foundation has created a text-to-give campaign to raise money to support both organizations. All you have to do to help is to text IN4H to 25383. You'll get a confirmation message asking if you want to support Indiana 4-H; reply YES. That's it! Just like that, $10 will be added to your mobile bill. That $10 will support the Indiana 4-H Programs that you know and love. All you need to do is to text IN4H to 25383!

Loan Programs Available for College Juniors and Seniors

The Indiana 4-H Foundation has two loan programs available to 4-H alums that are currently juniors or seniors in Purdue University programs. The funds have been endowed in memory of Dr. Robert Amick, a career extension professional, and in honor of the Myers Family, a 4-H family of many generations. Applications are accepted at any time and repayment is delayed until after graduation. Apply today through either of these programs.
