Beyond Ready- Financial Literacy – due March 20, 2026

National 4-H Council (Council) is proud to collaborate with Charles Schwab Foundation in collaboration with six (6) land-grant universities (LGUs) in empowering youth with financial literacy programming. This 32-month grant will impact 2,000 youth through six (6) hours or more of financial literacy programming, exploring a hybrid programming model through CLOVER.

NOTE: This is a pre-award RFA. The award of these subgrants is contingent on the award of a Grant by the Charles Schwab Foundation to Council. National 4-H Council has received a verbal commitment of funding; however, final awards are contingent upon receipt of a fully executed agreement. Should the agreement not be finalized, Council reserves the right to amend or withdraw this RFA.
