Florida Extension, of which 4-H is a part, receives funds from a cooperative partnership of three levels of government: federal (via the Science and Education Administration of the US Department of Agriculture), state (via the University of Florida), and county (through the county Board of Commissioners). 4-H also receives support from private sources and grants.

In Pinellas County we are fortunate to have the Pinellas County 4-H Foundation that raises money for the sole purpose of supporting 4-H programs in Pinellas County.
