The Wisconsin 4-H Foundation recently recognized partner Andis Foundation as a top 4-H donor. Acknowledged as a Platinum Clover supporter, Andis Foundation contributed $10,000 to support Wisconsin 4-H 2021 programs through the Wisconsin 4-H Foundation. Andis Company and Andis Foundation have been ardent supporters of Wisconsin 4-H for over 15 years.
“Andis Foundation is honored to continue empowering and supporting the development of youth in our communities through our partnership with the Wisconsin 4-H Foundation,” says Laura Andis Bishop. “The positive impact Wisconsin 4-H has on personal growth and leadership is vital, and we are grateful to take part in cultivating the next generation.”
4-H is one of the largest and oldest statewide youth organizations in Wisconsin, offering a wide variety of programs in both urban and rural settings. From the 4-H activities in the city of Milwaukee to the 4-H clubs in rural areas of Bayfield County, 4-H is making a positive impact on young people throughout the state. Nearly 150,000 youth participate in the Wisconsin 4-H program each year, and more than 22,000 volunteers support the program.
“Andis Foundation helps 4‑H create cutting-edge, relevant programs for young people to learn real-world skills that will prepare them for the challenges of today and tomorrow, moving communities, the state, our country and the world forward in ways no other youth organization can,” says Wisconsin 4-H Foundation Executive Director Brenda Scheider. “We value our partners who help Wisconsin 4-H make a positive impact on our youth.”
Since 1914, Wisconsin 4-H has helped young people develop the skills they need to meet the demands of our complex and changing world. Growing out of a rich history of agricultural clubs that helped the UW Extension connect families to research-based advancements in farming technology and techniques, today’s 4-H has expanded to include science (STEM), leadership, healthy living and communications programming that will help Wisconsin youth build a healthier and more prosperous future.
The Wisconsin 4-H Foundation, based in Madison, provides essential funding for 4-H programs throughout Wisconsin. By partnering with individuals, corporations and foundations, the Foundation supports 4-H leadership, youth development and community-building activities throughout the state.
