civic engagement
Tractor Supply Company (NASDAQ: TSCO), the largest rural
lifestyle retailer in the United States, in partnership with the
National 4-H Council, announced today its 2024 winter Paper Clover
campaign raised over $1.2 million for 4-H youth nationwide.
Traditionally held in the fall, this Paper Clover campaign
coincided with the holiday shopping season, beginning on Black
Friday and extending through December 15. In total, the retailer’s
twice-a-year fundraiser brought in more than $2.6 million for 4-H
in 2024.
“Out Here, the holiday season is about more than gifts—it’s
about gratitude and giving back,” said John Ordus, chief stores
officer at Tractor Supply and member of the National 4-H Council
board of trustees. “Thanks to the generosity of our customers, we
are delighted to provide an early Christmas gift to 4-H youth
across the country. With these funds, even more young people can
take advantage of the organization’s positive learning experiences
that are helping to build a generation of empowered, hard-working
and compassionate individuals. Thank you to all those who
contributed during this season of giving.”
The biannual Paper Clover fundraiser invites customers to
purchase a paper clover at checkout in Tractor Supply stores
nationwide or online at TractorSupply.com. Ninety percent of all
donations directly support 4-H youth in the state in which they
were made, while the remaining 10% support national 4-H
programming.
Heather Elliott, National 4-H Council's chief development and
marketing officer said, “Thanks to the overwhelming generosity of
Tractor Supply customers, the Paper Clover campaign achieved
record-breaking donations this year. Our partnership enables 4-H
youth across the country to gain essential career and life skills
so they are beyond ready to lead with confidence, thrive in their
communities and excel in their careers and life.”
4‑H is America’s largest youth development
organization—empowering nearly six million young people with the
skills to lead for a lifetime. Its programs are grounded in the
belief that kids learn best by doing. Kids and teens complete
hands-on projects in a positive environment where they receive
guidance from adult mentors and are encouraged to take on proactive
leadership roles. 4-H programs and resources are available online
through CLOVER or through local in-person and virtual 4-H clubs,
4-H camps, in-school and after-school programs.
Tractor Supply began partnering with 4-H in 2010 to support the
next generation of leaders across the U.S. Together, they have
raised more than $24 million through the Paper Clover campaign,
impacting more than 80,000 young people.
