TFB Clover Cash
Grant Program
We are excited to announce a new partnership
between Texas Farm Bureau and the Texas 4- H Foundation! The Clover Cash
Grant Program will provide Texas 4-H members the opportunity to help
students understand the importance of advocating for agriculture. Students
will also gain an appreciation and better understanding of where their
food, fuel and fiber come from.
Applications are now being accepted for the
Clover Cash Texas 4-H grant program. The deadline to complete applications
will be midnight, July 17 with winners being announced August 14. Once
projects are complete, a final summary will be due back to Texas Farm
Bureau by December 1, 2020.
Projects should be based on an agricultural
concept. Preference will be given to those projects that are hands-on
agricultural learning activities.
