Endowment

Wyandot County 4-H Endowment is a permanent fund made possible through individual donations, business and corporate contributions, and fund raising events. 
The principal is invested permanently in Wyandot county. The interest income is used to fund post high school scholarships and local 4-H youth development education programs. 

Does Wyandot County have a 4-H Endowment Fund? 

Yes. Our 4-H Endowment was established in the 1970's. Many local individuals deserve credit for their time and money spent to realize this goal. 

Why is it necessary to have a county 4-H Endowment? 

County, state and federal budgets are very restricted, and usually cannot be stretched to provide more than the basic necessities. Interest income from county endowments can supplement these budgets in addition to annual contributions to help assist with: 

  • awards for youth and adult volunteers 
  • providing added incentives
  • development of new programs
  • youth and volunteer education
  • scholarships
  • purchasing of program materials

Who manages the interest earned at the county level? 

Monies generated through earned interest is handled by the Wyandot County Endowment Committee. These individuals have a concern for the local 4-H program and distribute money through a formal process. A separate account is maintained for this purpose. 

Is my gift tax deductible?

Yes.  Wyandot County 4-H Endowment is a 501 (c)(3) charitable foundation. Consult your accountant or tax attorney for specific guidance on your gift.
