Ideal Applicant
A 4‑H affiliated youth or education applicant—individual scholarship applicants, local 4‑H clubs or CSU Extension 4‑H programs, or small youth-development projects seeking modest project or scholarship support.
Good Fit
- • Direct involvement with 4‑H programming or Colorado State University Extension 4‑H activities
- • Requests framed as individual scholarships or small educational/project grants
- • Budget requests in the small-grant range (typically under $5,000)
- • Clear description of youth learning outcomes and project-level impact
- • Ability to apply within the posted grant window and follow the foundation's application form
Geography
In the latest year grants reached recipients in 11 states, with roughly half of dollars going to Colorado and the remainder distributed across multiple other states; the footprint is multi‑state rather than strictly local.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 55 distinct recipients (56 grants) including many individual scholarship awards and program grants, with 38 new recipients in 2024 and 17 returning grantees, indicating a broad and diverse recipient set for the foundation's size.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of openness includes published application pages and forms plus a defined grant window, and behaviorally about 69% of 2024 recipients were new, which together indicate that unfamiliar applicants have a realistic path into the portfolio.
