District ACE agents must approve fund raising in the name of 4-H in their districts prior to the raising of funds. Fund raising must not be used to endorse a particular business or product.
Fund raisers are for programs, activities, club groups, projects, etc.
Sales of equipment etc. Accumulation of club funds beyond immediate program needs is restricted by federal tax regulations. The district agent, state 4-H office, or University of Alaska may require a report or audit of the financial records of a 4H club by giving two weeks written notice to the club. Leaders may not charge a fee for their services as a part of a 4-H club. If they have a private business they must keep that activity separate from their 4-H activity.
