The Nebraska 4-H Foundation has begun sending award checks to 4-H’ers who participated in the Nebraska State Fair. As a reminder, here is the process:
Since the Nebraska State Fair, 4-H’ers have been sending the Foundation their “donor thank you” letters. The Foundation has mailed these thank you letters to the many donors who fund these awards.
Once we have been given approval by the State 4-H Office, the Foundation sends award checks to the 4-H’ers who have completed their donor thank you letter. If a 4-H’er fails to send a thank you note to their donor, we will not send an award check to the 4-H’er.
We will be processing hundreds of awards checks over the next three weeks. As you can imagine, It takes time to process this many award checks; you might remind families of how the system works.
If you have questions or need additional information, don’t hesitate to call or email. We’re always glad to hear from you!
