Nebraska 4-H Foundation

The Nebraska 4-H Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting the Nebraska 4-H Youth Development Program. However, there seems to be a discrepancy in the EIN provided and the one associated with the Nebraska 4-H Foundation, which is reported as 47-0469703[1][5].

Mission and Purpose

The mission of the Nebraska 4-H Foundation is to seek and manage contributions that meet the needs and advance the interests of the Nebraska 4-H Club work. This includes maintaining 4-H camps and centers for educational and recreational purposes[5]. The foundation supports the Nebraska 4-H Youth Development Program by enhancing existing programs and funding new initiatives at county, district, and state levels[2].

Programs and Activities

The Nebraska 4-H Foundation supports a wide array of activities, including innovative programs, teen and adult leadership education, volunteer programs, member recognition, project clinics, camps, counselor training, teen leader clubs, livestock and non-livestock events[2]. It also annually awards scholarships to 4-H members from across the state[4].

Financial Support

The Nebraska 4-H program receives financial support from federal, state, and county governments, but public funds alone cannot fully meet the needs of the program. The foundation plays a crucial role in supplementing these funds with private contributions to support areas such as awards, incentives, recognition, and volunteer development[2].

Impact

Nebraska 4-H is the state's largest youth development program, reaching about one-third of eligible youth in all 93 counties, supported by over 12,000 volunteers[1]. The foundation's contributions help ensure that these young people have opportunities to develop leadership skills and engage in hands-on learning experiences.

Legal Status

The Nebraska 4-H Foundation operates as a 501(c)(3) public charity, which requires it to file IRS Form 990 or 990-EZ annually[5].
