Facility Use Agreements
If you are holding your fundraiser anywhere an existing facility Use Agreement is not in place, the UCCE Office will need to obtain a facility use agreement form the owner or legal custodian. The UCCE Central Sierra County director is the only county-based administrator authorized to execute license agreements. All FUA's should name 'The Regents of the University of California' as the Licensor.
Under no circumstances should 4-H YDP staff, adult volunteers or members sign FUA’s for any type of 4-H YDP activities.
Fundraising for a Service Learning Project
4-H service-learning combines service and learning objectives with the intent that the activity changes both the recipient and the provider of the service. It involves active learning - drawing lessons from the experience of performing service work.
For more information and tools for Service Learning projects visit the UC 4-H YDP Service Learning Projects page.
Temporary Food Permit
If you are selling food as pat of your fundraiser, most likely you will need to obtain a temporary food permit from your county's Environmental Health Department. Each county has it's own requirements for Temporary Food Permits.
