4-H is such a worthwhile program. By offering 4-H within the school day, it becomes accessible to so many more youth, especially those at risk whose parents or guardians may not be able to pay the fees or get them to extracurricular 4-H clubs.

Financial Assistance Program
In 2022, 4-H Alberta launched its first financial assistance pilot program.
Due to the high demand on the program and thanks to the generosity of our community, the McCall MacBain Foundation, as well as UFA, we are excited to announce that we will once again be offering the Financial Assistance Program for the 2024/2025 Club year and will be able to increase the funding available for up to four times the number of youth from 2022!
The 4-H Alberta financial assistance program is open to 4-H Members who may not have the financial means to participate in 4-H Alberta but would love to join. Any Member(s) who are considering to opt out of 4-H Alberta or may not be in a financial position to join the 4-H Alberta program due to financial constraints/ limited financial resources, are strongly encouraged to apply by completing this application.
Please note:
- Approved financial assistance recipients may either prepay their provincial club registration fees and then get reimbursed (to protect their anonymity), or
- If approved financial assistance recipients do not have the funds to pay their club registration fees in advance, we ask them to connect with the Fund Development Team at development@4hab.com to explore a suitable solution
- Please note that Clubs are not responsible to carry the unpaid dues since the review and approval of financial assistance is completed on an ongoing basis until available funding has been depleted or the application closes
- The deadline to submit your application for the 2024/ 2025 provincial registration fee is December 15, 2024. To access Financial Assistance for provincial programs, Members in good standing can apply year round.
