Paper Clover Campaign
Since 2010, Tractor Supply Co. has partnered with 4-H to create opportunities for all youth to thrive. Every year tens of thousands of dollars are raised through the TSC Paper Clover fundraiser to support 4-H programming in Ohio that inspires curiosity, fuels adventure, and builds lifelong skills to grow tomorrow’s leaders today.
This fall you can show your support for Ohio 4-H by purchasing a paper clover at your local TSC store between Nov. 29 and Dec. 15. Donations can also be added at checkout for all online orders made at tractorsupply.com.
All proceeds from this fundraiser go to 4-H, with 90% of donations directly supporting 4-H youth in Ohio and the remaining 10% supporting the overall mission and growth of 4-H nationally.
