$$ – Funding Request – $$
Do you have an idea for your 4-H community? Do you need some financial help attending a 4-H event or program? The 4-H Leaders Association may be able to help you! There are limited funds set aside each year to help our La Crosse County youth participate in 4-H. Our leaders want to hear your ideas and needs! To request funding, please fill out the Financial Request form. Then, you may turn it in to the UW-Extension office or present your request to the Leaders Board at their monthly meeting open forum. (Visit the Adult Leadership page or the 4-H Calendar to see upcoming meeting dates/times).
