Harry Burcalow is the former associate dean of the WSU College of Agriculture and Home Economics, now CAHNRS, and associate director of WSU Cooperative Extension. In retirement from WSU, and now the WA 4-H Foundation Board, Burcalow continues to remain a strong supporter of 4-H programs. He personally founded the Harry Burcalow 4-H Endowment for Innovative Grants, funding projects and programs that help 4-H youth serve their communities while learning about leadership, decision-making, responsibility, and healthy lifestyle choices. 

The goal of the grant is to fund worthy 4-H youth development programs or projects. The emphasis is on short-term needs such as new innovative programs, seed money, emergencies, or unanticipated shortfalls. 4-H depends on involvement and donations to help Washington youth from all walks of life succeed.
