Hamilton Youth Foundation

WHAT DO WE DO?

The purpose of this foundation, which was started in 1992, is to ”Educate, support, and promote youth who live in our trade area and are involved in agriculture and natural resource endeavors”.

Listed below are the ways the Foundation has chosen to invest in the youth of our Trade Area since 1992:

• $6,355 has gone for Okanogan County annual 4H achievement pins 4H Leadership grants
• A total of $ 22,935 has been invested in miscellaneous grants to individuals and groups for many worthwhile projects that have benefited many in Okanogan County
• A total of $ 296,523 has been invested in the market stock sales at the Okanogan, Chelan, and Ferry County Fairs
• Over $2,855 has been loaned out at NO INTEREST to youth wanting help in buying animals to raise for the Fair, and all loans have been paid back
• 68 - $500 scholarships, 50 - $800 scholarships, 37 - $1,000 scholarships and 16 - $1,500 scholarships have been awarded and paid to local youth to further their education at Vocational Colleges, Junior Colleges, and 4-Year Universities ($135,000 in Total).

Since 1992, the Hamilton Youth Foundation has invested $ 467,201 in the youth of Okanogan, Ferry, Douglas and Chelan Counties. The HYF Board of Directors think the return on that investment to the communities involved has been fantastic and will continue to grow because our children are our future!
