HISTORY
The Georgia 4-H
Foundation was chartered on November 17, 1948 to receive funds for the
construction of the Rock Eagle 4-H Center. As the Rock Eagle project was
completed, the Foundation continued to support the Georgia 4-H Program
by providing scholarships, awards, and incentive trips for successful achievements
of 4-H'ers in Georgia. As time passed, the Foundation began to develop
endowments which today fund scholarships, salaries for camp counselors,
and other important programs. The Foundation solicits gifts from 4-H alumni,
friends, and businesses to fund annual projects and events which are not
endowed.
The Foundation continues to support the five 4-H centers in the state which include Fortson 4-H Center in Hampton, Rock Eagle 4-H Center in Eatonton, Burton 4-H Center in Tybee Island, Jekyll Island 4-H Center (Tidelands Nature Center) in Jekyll Island, and Wahsega 4-H Center in Dahlonega.
