Paper Clover Campaign

Since 2010, Tractor Supply Company (TSC) has proudly partnered with 4-H to help youth across the country thrive. Each year, the TSC Paper Clover fundraiser raises tens of thousands of dollars to support 4-H programming in Ohio—programs that spark curiosity, fuel adventure, and build lifelong skills to prepare tomorrow’s leaders for success.

Between November 28 and December 14 this year, you can show your support for Ohio 4-H by purchasing a paper clover at your local TSC store. 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.

Your contribution helps empower young people to lead, learn, and grow—thank you for supporting Ohio 4-H!
