Tractor Supply’s Paper Clover Campaign Reaches $20 Million Donation Milestone for 4-H

Tractor Supply Company, which also owns and operates Petsense by Tractor Supply, in partnership with National 4-H Council, announced its Paper Clover fundraising campaign has raised a cumulative $20 million for the nation’s youth. Tractor Supply reached the milestone during its spring Paper Clover event, which generated over $1 million dollars for 4-H programs across the country.

“The success of this fundraising effort is a testament to our customers’ generosity. Their donations will profoundly impact our nation’s future leaders, enabling more young people to benefit from 4-H’s programming,” said Kimberley Gardiner, Chief Marketing Officer at Tractor Supply. “We at Tractor Supply are honored to have been a part of this incredible effort and are excited to see its positive impact on communities across the country.”

Tractor Supply and 4-H started the bi-annual Paper Clover fundraiser in 2010 to raise money and awareness for local 4-H clubs. Ninety percent of campaign donations are used to support 4-H youth in the state where the donation is made, while the remaining 10 percent supports national 4-H programming. The Paper Clover contributions fund educational programs and provide all 4-H members with the opportunity to engage in enriching camps, conferences and community projects in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, agriculture, healthy living and civic engagement.

“We are so grateful for our longstanding partnership with Tractor Supply and the many opportunities provided for 4-H’ers across the country thanks to the Paper Clover campaign,” said Jennifer Sirangelo, President and CEO, National 4-H Council. “Together with Tractor Supply we celebrate this incredible milestone and look forward to providing even more hands-on learning experiences to help ignite a spark in young people.”

The Paper Clover campaign by Tractor Supply Company has significantly impacted fulfilling the aspirations of numerous 4-H’ers across the country. By supporting youth development programs, the campaign is dedicated to empowering the future leaders of tomorrow. Deanna Brock, a Pasco County, FL native and a former 4-H participant, is one of many alumni who received scholarships from the Paper Clover campaign. As a result, Brock was able to attend state leadership events and Camp Cloverleaf.

“Because of the Paper Clover campaign and the support from Tractor Supply, I was given opportunities that I would not have had otherwise. These experiences shaped me into who I am today and led me to my career of working with youth in 4-H,” said Brock.

Tractor Supply held the 2023 spring Paper Clover campaign from April 26-May 7, inviting customers to purchase a paper clover at checkout in stores or online at TractorSupply.com.

4-H is the nation’s largest youth development organization, touching more than six million youth across the U.S. To learn more about Tractor Supply’s Paper Clover campaign, visit Tractor Supply.
