"4-H has helped me to develop into a better person because it has provided me with friendship, confidence, passion, and the opportunity to expand my horizons and learn more about the world around me ... I cannot thank 4-H enough for shaping me into the person I am today, because I attribute a lot of my skills to it. What 4-H stands for and the amazing people who make it successful will always have a special place in my heart."

Today, the foundation continues to provide an annual operating grant. 1985 - The Hall of Fame was established, thanks to support from the 4-H Foundation. 2016 - The Saskatchewan 4-H Foundation receives the largest single gift ever donated to the foundation by an individual through the estate of Morris Sebulski (more than $294,000). This legacy gift has left a substantial impact on 4-H Saskatchewan and has allowed us to develop new initiatives to support our members. 2016 - The 4-H Future Fund was established by Bill Cooper. This fund provides scholarships and funds other projects that promote leadership skill development, entrepreneurial endeavours, and the growth of the 4-H program in Saskatchewan. 2019 - All scholarships donated by individuals or families are eligible for a charitable tax receipt through the foundation. 2020 - The Saskatchewan 4-H Foundation celebrates 60 years of supporting 4-H across the province. |
