Overview

Mission

Indiana 4-H Youth Development strives to be the premier, community based program empowering young people to reach their full potential.

What it reported doing in 2025

4-H Fair Committee Oversees the planning of and makes arrangements for food and other vendors, special events, track activities, and carnival rides during the annual Wayne County 4-H Fair.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 83% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 99% 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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and most voting board members are independent. The filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
