AUBURN UNIVERSITY Ala. — The Tractor Supply Paper Clover campaign is open through May 3. By purchasing a paper clover at any Tractor Supply store or with online purchases, customers can support their local 4-H program. 

All funds raised through this bi–annual campaign directly benefit 4-H youth. Ninety percent of donations go directly to support 4-H programs in the county where funds were raised, while the remaining 10 percent supports the mission and growth of 4-H nationally.  

History of Paper Clovers 

Since the partnership began in 2010, the Paper Clover campaign has raised more than $24 million. These funds provide students with learning experiences in STEM, agriculture, healthy living and civic engagement.  

“Every year we see how the Paper Clover campaign can open doors for students to find their spark in 4-H,” said Joy Scott, 4-H Extension specialist. “The opportunities supported by these donations prepare 4-H’ers to be beyond ready for higher education, careers and life.”

Making an Impact 

To encourage giving, 4-H clubs are invited to partner with their local store. They can set up 4-H club displays, host demonstrations and engage with customers.

“This giving opportunity is unique because 4-H’ers can interact with customers, allowing them to see first-hand how their donation can make an impact,” said Tasha Worden, secretary and treasurer for the Alabama 4-H Club Foundation. 

More Ways to Give 

The Tractor Supply Company hosts the Paper Clover campaign twice a year. While the spring campaign ends May 5, the fall campaign will run Nov. 28 through Dec. 14.
