Overview
Mission
The organization's primary exempt purpose is to organize and administer 4-H, Agriculture and Natural Resources, and Family and Consumer Sciences programs in Forsyth County, Georgia.
What it reported doing in 2025
Agriculture and Natural Resources Programs, including Master Naturalist and Master Gardener Extension Volunteers, provided certificate training for pest management professionals and citizen scientists, as well as horticulture and environmental education programs for 9,136 county clients.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 95% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
