Overview
Mission
To organize and administer 4-H, Agriculture, and Family and Consumer Science Programs in Paulding County, Georgia.
What it reported doing in 2025
The 4-H Horse and Pony Club (35 members) provides a tool for 4-H members to learn about horse care and handling, and the equine industry in general, through hands-on activities designed to develop skills, not only in horsemanship, but also in leadership, communication, and decision making.
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
STRONG - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
