How LFOB: Youth Agriculture Fundraising Works
Learn how the BarnRewards program helps 4‑H members earn rewards while supporters shop.
1. Club/Program Leaders Register Their Program
4‑H leaders begin by registering their chapter or program on BarnRewards.com. It’s free to join, approval is quick, and there are no setup fees. Once approved, each chapter receives a unique sign‑up link for their members.
2. Members Join Under Their Club/Program
Kids join using their chapter’s link (with parent or guardian permission). Each member receives their own BarnRewards participant account, a personal shopping link, and a dashboard to track points and rewards.
Important: Members should update their payment type to Store Credit so their points automatically convert into usable rewards.
3. Youth Members Share Their Personal Link to Supporters
Members share their unique link with family and friends. The more they share, the more opportunities they have to earn rewards.
4. Supporters Shop Through the Member’s Link
When someone clicks a member’s link and visits BarnRewards.com, a confirmation bar appears at the top of the page that says:
“You’re shopping with (Member Name)!”
This ensures supporters know their purchase is helping that specific member earn rewards. There’s no extra cost and no special checkout steps.
5. Members Earn Reward Points Automatically
Every qualifying purchase made through a member’s link earns them reward points. Points accumulate automatically and convert into store credit that can be used on BarnRewards.com.
6. Chapters Benefit Too
Chapters get a simple, hands‑off fundraising tool with a dashboard to monitor participation. It supports 4‑H activities without selling products door‑to‑door.
