What is a County 4-H Endowment?

County 4-H endowments are permanent funds made possible through individual donations, business and corporate contributions and fund raising events.  Principal is invested permanently through the Ohio State University to generate the maximum interest possible.  The interest income returns to the county to fund local 4-H youth development education programs, and adds value to the county endowment to keep pace with inflation.

 

 

Is a gift to the Fairfield County 4-H Endowment recognized as a gift to The Ohio State University?

Yes!  Contributions are sent to the State 4-H Office earmarked for the Fairfield County 4-H Endowment Fund and deposited with the Ohio 4-H Foundation which is a part of the university's development fund.

 

Is my gift tax deductible?

Yes!  The Ohio 4-H Foundation and Fairfield County 4-H Endowment is a 501 (c)(3) charitable foundation.  Consult your accountant or tax attorney for specific guidance on your gift.
