Madie’s Clovers Advised Charitable Agency Fund
The purpose of Madie’s Clovers is to provide sponsorship to kids to purchase animals or to pay for housing/maintenance of animals to able to show them at the fair for 4H. This consists of working with local breeders to purchase animals and local farmers to find proper facilities to house and maintain the animals. We also provide high level mentoring on how to raise and show the animals. These activities allow kids that normally don’t have the opportunity to show animals in 4H and to learn life lessons such as money management, record keeping, animal care, maintenance, and work ethic. With the help of the directors and local volunteers we hope to help the kids of the area to flourish in the 4H community.
