Every year 4-H Saskatchewan helps to shape the future of more than 3,000 youth members who participate in more than 50 different 4-H projects throughout the province. The 4-H program encourages these members to become engaged in their communities and helps to develop the leadership and life skills necessary for them to become successful and contributing future leaders. This is all made possible because of the generosity and support of those who continue to believe in the 4-H program and continue to invest in the future of our youth.

The Saskatchewan 4-H Foundation has played a significant role in the success of 4-H Saskatchewan for 60 years. The Foundation was incorporated in 1960 for the purpose of receiving and administering funds donated to the 4-H program. It became a charitable organization in 1967.
The most encouraging aspect of supporting the Foundation is that the money you give today will not only support current 4-H members, leaders and programs, but will continue to work for the benefit of future generations of 4-H members. The Foundation receives donations from a wide variety of sources, and invests the funds under the direction of a volunteer Board of Trustees and a Financial Advisor (RBC Dominion Securities).

Below are choices to consider in building your legacy and supporting 4-H Saskatchewan.
- Gifts of Cash
- Gifts of cash are easy, eligible for a charitable tax receipt, and go straight to work in helping 4-H Saskatchewan deliver programs and resources for 4-H members and leaders. Click the “donate” button above or contact the 4-H office to give today!
- Gifts of Securities
- Gifts of stocks, bonds, or mutual funds are eligible for a donation receipt for the fair market value of the securities on the date of transfer to the Saskatchewan 4-H Foundation. When you transfer ownership of securities rather than sell, you will not pay capital gains on those securities.
- Gift of Real Estate or Other Assets
- Real estate or other assets such as art may be gifted to the Saskatchewan 4-H Foundation and are eligible for a charitable tax receipt for the fair market value.
- Gift of Residual Interest
- When donating real estate, for example, you can retain the use of the property for life with a gift of residual interest. You will receive a donation receipt for the present value of the gift that can be used to offset tax on associated capital gains. The gifted asset is not subject to probate.
- Donor Designated Funds
- Donor designated funds allow you to choose what your gift will support and are eligible for tax benefits in the year your gift is made. Your gift can be in the form of cash, real estate, appreciated stock, or other assets and will be placed in an endowed fund, carefully invested to grow over time. 4-H Saskatchewan will manage the fund according to terms created together with yourself, the Saskatchewan 4-H Foundation, and a financial advisor. The minimum amount to create a named, donor designated fund is $25,000
- Gift of Life Insurance
- A gift of life insurance can make a large impact at a modest cost and can have various tax benefits both presently and in the future depending on how your policy is set up.
- Leave a Gift in Your Will
- Bequests by will are the most common form of planned giving and are relatively easy to set up. You retain full control of your assets and your estate will receive a donation receipt to reduce any taxes payable.
- You can make your gift in your will to extend your support of 4-H Saskatchewan in the way most meaningful for you, such as:
- making a direct gift to 4-H Saskatchewan for immediate use, where needed most.
- to the 4-H Saskatchewan Foundation General Endowment Fund to support the long-term operation of 4-H in Saskatchewan
- to the 4-H Future Fund to support leadership and entrepreneurship development programs
- creating a Family Fund* named for your family with income that supports 4-H Saskatchewan in perpetuity
- In Memoriam Tribute
- Recognize someone who has passed away with a memorial donation. Memorial donations are eligible for a charitable tax receipt and are recognized on a wall plaque at the 4-H Saskatchewan office.
- Joint Fundraising and Other Initiatives
- 4-H Saskatchewan is open to other ideas and working with other organizations which share our values. Please contact the 4-H office if you would like to propose another fundraising option.
