Since 2010, Tractor Supply Co. has partnered with 4-H to prepare youth to be ready for work and life. The success of the Paper Clover campaign has raised more than $24 million to impact youth with the technical skills and life skills that prepare them for whatever comes their way.

100 percent of funds raised through the bi-annual Paper Clover campaign directly benefits 4‑H youth. 90 percent of donations directly support 4‑H youth in the state where the funds were raised, and the remaining 10 percent supports the overall mission and growth of 4‑H nationally.

Support now through May 3rd at your local Tractor Supply! 🍀
