Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

NATIONAL 4-H COUNCIL'S MISSION IS TO EXPAND OPPORTUNITIES FOR ALL OF AMERICA'S YOUTH THROUGH INCREASED INVESTMENT AND PARTICIPATION IN 4-H POSITIVE YOUTH DEVELOPMENT. THE 4-H SYSTEM IS COMPRISED OF A UNIQUE PRIVATE-PUBLIC PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN OUR NATION'S LAND-GRANT UNIVERSITIES, FEDERAL AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, FOUNDATIONS AND PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATIONS. THESE PARTNERS WORK TOGETHER TO PROVIDE RICH EDUCATIONAL CONTENT AND CURRICULA, CUTTING-EDGE TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATIVE THOUGHT-LEADERSHIP.

Activities or mission (Part I)

SEE SCHEDULE O

  • Scaling PYD By harnessing the national and local power of the 4-H network, we are expanding the capacity of our 3,000+ educators and ~500,000 volunteers, scaling programming to accelerate our impact, and amplifying youth voice. Through this work, we are empowering our six million 4-H'ers to be ready for work and life. This is particularly important for youth in rural areas, as 4-H is the only youth development organization with reach in every county and parish in the country.

    Expenses $11,329,877 · Grants $8,235,418

  • Educator Experiences Our highly-trained educators and volunteers are critical for the development and delivery of our quality programming. Through online and in-person courses, conferences and immersions, the 4-H PYD Academy provides research-backed learning opportunities that equip 4-H educators and volunteers with the essential knowledge and skills to plan, implement, and evaluate high-quality PYD programs that help youth thrive. The only online platform to offer engaging, research-based youth and educator content from 100+ universities and 4-H local programming, CLOVER by 4-H extends educator reach by providing over 300 hands-on, educational resources to youth and their caregivers anytime, anywhere.

    Expenses $7,896,450 · Grants $374,177 · Revenue $2,655,135

  • PYD Events Millions of young people lack access to opportunities that would develop the skills they need to succeed, including confidence, teamwork, creativity, and innovation. 4-H's national youth events engage teens and educators from around the country to find answers to problems and equip them to create change. This empowers them to become leaders; the next wave of innovators who influence others and live the ideals that foster a vibrant and creative economy. Our annual youth events, Ignite by 4-H and Citizenship Washington Focus, see high school students and Extension professionals convene in the Washington, D.C. area for immersive experiences that empower them to connect and find their spark. Ignite attendees explore the best 4-H has to offer in STEM, Agriscience, Healthy Living, Career Readiness, and Emotional Well-being through experiences that include career panels, career preparation, educational workshops, and the development of local engagement plans, while CWF attendees experience hands-on educational workshops, tour Washington, D.C.'s living classrooms, and meet with members of Congress to build the skills to be active citizens in their local communities.

The first 25 listed. Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
