Nebraska 4-H Foundation’s Hands for Larger Service Awards (formerly known as the Governor’s Ag Excellence Awards), sponsored by the Nebraska Investment Finance Authority (NIFA), is a prestigious award designed to recognize 4-H clubs for their efforts to serve their communities.
This grant is intended to provide funding for 4-H Clubs to complete projects that will have a lasting impact on their communities. Projects should be intentional and impactful, growing club members as leaders and fulfilling a need in their community.
Recognition is in the form of a $500 grant issued to the club’s treasury to be used as described in the award application form completed by the club. Examples of fundable programs include mentorship programs, intergenerational programs, attending educational experiences, hosting workshops/educational events and service-learning opportunities.
In order to be considered for the award, applications must be completed/submitted by July 10. Please direct any questions to Lindsay Shearer by email lshearer2@unl.edu or by calling 402-472-9019.
