Attention, Indiana 4-Hers in grades 7-12: Do you have a community service project you would like to implement in your hometown? Apply for a YES Grant through the Indiana 4-H Foundation to help fund your idea!
YES Grants offer funds for youth in grades 7-12 across Indiana to complete a service project in their community. The purpose of these grants is to assess the need, then create and execute a youth-led project. You can even invite your friends to join in!
While each youth lead will be supervised by an adult, the purpose of these grants is to give 4-H youth firsthand leadership and project management experience. Adults may advise, but youth need to take ownership of their project by completing their application, filling out their budget sheet, and compiling their final report with minimal adult intervention.
We also encourage group participation in the service projects, including younger children who may want to lead their own project one day! Club members of all ages are welcome to participate, as long as the youth lead is in grade 7-12.
The 2026 YES Grants application will be live on January 15 and will remain open until midnight on March 15. Grants will be selected by mid-April, and final project reports will be due at the end of the year. The application portal and documents will be linked at in4h.org/grants.
