Forms and Applications

There is always a lot going on throughout the year when it comes to the 4-H program, and hopefully this page will provide you with a one-stop-shop for all of the forms and applications that you should need.  If any 4-H clubs or projects would like forms and applications added to this page, or updated, please contact the 4-H Program Coordinator.

General Forms (For Camps)

Camp Kinnissippewa Forms

Care to Share Form:

This form offers Trempealeau County 4-Hers the opportunity to describe the issue, explain why it’s a problem, suggest a solution and submit it for consideration. All completed forms must include a possible solution and a member, leader or parent signature. Forms are submitted to  the 4-H Program Coordinator, who then forwards it to the appropriate group for consideration.

Charter Forms:

4-H Charters are very important for a 4-H Club, or chartered project, to have completed.  This process should not be taken lightly and should involve all members of the 4-H club.  It is a great opportunity to go over your club’s goals and to work as a team.  Below includes some helpful information for your club in completing the charter process.  Charters and the Annual Financial paperwork are now available on the state website. Use the link below.

 

Club Treasurer Forms

Donation Forms

If a 4-H Club or Group is chartered that means that paperwork is filed by the 4-H Program Coordinator so that they remain a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.  Through being a 501(c)3 this means that donations given to chartered 4-H clubs or groups are tax deductable.  Below you will find a sample donation record and reciept form and a sample tax donation letter reciept that you should utilize if your chartered 4-H club or group recieves a donation.

Educational Events Form:

For various different projects there are extra requirements that the youth involved in the project need to participate in.  One of those extra requirements is YQCA and the other often proof of attendance at extra educational events.  Use the form below for your proof of attendance at these extra educational events.

Fair Project Entries:

Below are some extra resources to assist with signing up for fair projects.

Funding Request Information:

The Trempealeau County 4-H Leaders Executive Board includes money in their budget to help defray some costs of 4-H educational trips or activities in which Trempealeau County 4-H members and leaders participate. The amount the Association is able to contribute in a given year depends on the success of fund raising efforts, the amounts spent in other budget areas, and the number of applicants and level of requests.

A “Funding Request Form” has been developed for use when an individual or group is requesting monetary support. Only 4-H Sponsored Events will be considered for reimbursement. Use of the form will provide a consistent, concise approach for obtaining information. Once the Committee engages in discussion relative to the request, the requester may be asked to leave the meeting and will be notified by email of the Committee’s decision.

The Trempealeau County Horse project does a variety of different events throughout the year.  The forms below will assist you if you are involved in the Horse Project.
