Doane Youth Center Grants

Through a generous endowment from D. Howard Doane, a founding member of the Missouri 4-H Foundation Board of Trustees, funds are available to improve facilities owned and/or controlled by Missouri 4-H. There is no limitation on the size of grant requests, however, the facilities must be owned and/or controlled by Missouri 4-H.

How to request funds

Applications will be accepted from county 4-H councils, 4-H clubs, county 4-H foundations or MU Extension councils acting on behalf of a county-wide 4-H program effort within Missouri.

All available funds for the Doane Youth Center Grants have been awarded for Fiscal Year 2025. We will review new applications starting July 1, 2025.
