Tractor Supply’s biannual fundraiser helps plant the seeds for a brighter future for 4-H youth.
The Tractor Supply Company Foundation has announced a bonus competition for the 2026 spring Paper Clover campaign. On Saturday, April 25, local 4-H organizations will be in Tractor Supply stores nationwide for Demo Days and will compete for additional grants based on their state’s average fundraising performance. The top state will receive an additional $10,000; second place receives an additional $5,000 and third place will receive $1,000.
The Demo Days event is an opportunity for customers to test drive zero-turn and riding mowers at stores nationwide. On Saturday, April 25 and Sunday, April 26 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., customers can shop Tractor Supply’s biggest lineup of zero-turn and front engine mowers ever and take them for a spin through a parking lot obstacle course. Customers who test drive a mower will receive a free Tractor Supply hat, while supplies last.
“The Paper Clover campaign supports the future of agriculture through 4-H programs across the country,” said John Ordus, Chief Stores Officer at Tractor Supply and member of the National 4-H Council Board of Trustees. “4-H offers hands-on experiences that give every student the tools they need to succeed. With Paper Clover, we ensure that all students can access these life-changing programs. We are so pleased with what we have achieved in partnership with our Team Members, customers and communities and look forward to another milestone fundraiser.”
Together, Tractor Supply and 4-H have raised more than $26 million for the nation’s youth. The fundraiser, now in its 16th year, strengthens educational programs for 4-H members to engage in hands-on career and life skills projects, participate in leadership and public speaking training, learn from industry leaders and develop the skills necessary to take on leadership roles – all to prepare them for work and life.
During the 2024 Paper Clover fundraiser, Tractor Supply raised over $2.3 million for 4-H youth nationwide. 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.
“Events like Demo Day bring communities into Tractor Supply stores in a fun, hands-on way and make it easy to support something bigger. When customers choose to purchase a Paper Clover, they help 4-H youth gain access to experiences that build confidence, develop practical, work-ready skills and open doors for what’s ahead,” said Heather Elliott, Chief Development and Marketing Officer at National 4-H Council. “This support is critical to 4-H’s Beyond Ready initiative to prepare 10 million young people for work and life. It’s a simple action that makes a real difference locally – giving back to the community while equipping young people with the skills they need for their future.”
4‑H is America’s largest youth development organization, empowering nearly six million young people with the skills to be productive, healthy and engaged. Its research-based programming includes activities in the areas of agriculture, health, science and civic engagement, and the guidance and lifelong skills necessary to succeed in college and career. In 2024 4-H launched the Beyond Ready initiative to help 10 million youth become ready for life and work by 2030.
