The Clinton County 4-H Endowment Fund is managed by the Ohio State University Foundation to maximize the income that will be returned to the Clinton County 4-H youth development program.

Gifts to the endowment are tax deductible and will be placed in a permanent account with annual income used exclusively to support the 4-H program in Clinton County.

By placing their original and subsequent gifts in the permanent endowment account, contributors will be assured that their gifts will remain in perpetuity, providing income to the 4-H program in the coming years.

This 4-H Endowment Fund provides a contribution opportunity for those who would like to support Clinton County 4-H and OSU, but would like the money to be used for 4-H youth development in Clinton County.
