Fundraisers can help your club earn money to cover the costs of club administration and social activities. When selecting a fundraising initiative ensure that it projects a positive image of 4‑H, provides an educational experience, is profitable and is appropriate and safe for those involved.

Below are fundraising suggestions to help your club select a appropriate fundraiser. The organizations who offer these products have met a list of criteria set by the Provincial 4‑H Fundraising Committee. However, the 4‑H Branch, Alberta 4‑H Council and 4‑H Foundation of Alberta do not necessarily endorse the products or organizations. Please note that the suggestions are classified into one of three categories: Recycling, Product and Commission.

Each fundraiser has their own individual criteria and objectives to be met. Please read the information carefully and fully prior to selecting a fundraiser for your club.
