The Pine Tree State 4-H Foundation helps support University of Maine Cooperative Extension 4-H programs. Foundation funds

• help Maine 4-H’ers participate in national 4-H trips such as Citizenship Washington Focus, Conference, and Congress;
• aid UMaine Extension staff as they attempt to expand and strengthen the Maine 4-H program in their counties; and
• provide grants and scholarships to clubs and individual Maine 4-H members as they better themselves and their communities through "learning by doing."

The work of the Foundation would not be possible without its many volunteers, sponsors, and donors. We heartedly thank everyone for their support as we work each day towards "making the best better."

The Pine Tree State 4-H Foundation was established in the 1960s to aid in the financial support of UMaine Extension’s 4-H program.
