Club activities included in the FYE 9/30/2025 Form 990 include total income of 1,066,203 and total expenses of 852,792, serving approximately 6,000 youth from across the state. Additional detail about the clubs included in the Foundations Form 990 is available upon request. Form 990, Part III, Line 4a The University of Arizona 4-H Youth Development program provides quality youth education by building positive relationships and life skills. We develop competence, caring and actively engaged citizens who strengthen Arizona communities. 4-H is for all youth, ages 5-19, who have fun, learn new skills, and explore the world. Kids 5-8 join Cloverbuds, a non-competitive, fun introduction to many projects available through 4-H. Youth ages 8-19 participate in 4-H by enrolling in projects and joining a club. In 4-H, young people make new friends, develop new skills, become leaders and help shape their communities. Youth have the opportunity to participate in 4-H experiences that strengthen a young persons sense of belonging, generosity, independence, and mastery. The 4-H Foundation created and implemented the Great 8 pathways in 2020-2021 covering the areas of agriculture, camp/outdoors, civic engagement, community service, cultural understanding, leadership, healthy living, and STEM. These pathways cross over all events, program and projects in 4-H and enable the Foundation to talk with donors in a more robust and inclusive way. Arizona 4-H Youth also go places--to camp, to state and national conferences and even on international cultural immersion exchanges. They learn to be leaders, active citizens and citizen scientists. In 4-H clubs, they serve as officers and learn to conduct meetings, handle club funds, and facilitate group decision-making. In a growing number of communities, 4-H Youth serve as youth representatives in municipal or county government or as members of teen courts. They give back to their communities. 4-H members are involved in volunteer projects to protect the environment, mentor younger children, and help people who are less fortunate. 4-H clubs and affiliated organizations derive their tax-exempt status under the Arizona 4-H Youth Foundation. They do not have a tax existence outside of the Foundations umbrella, and for tax purposes are treated as programs of the Foundation. Accordingly, all revenues, expenses, and assets of these clubs and affiliated organizations are reported on the Foundations Form 990. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11B Emailed to Bookkeeper, Executive Director, President for review prior to being filed. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C The conflict of interest policy applies to any director, officer, or member of a committee with governing board delegated powers who has a direct or indirect financial interest in a transaction under consideration by the Foundation. Such individual has a duty to disclose the existence of the financial interest and will be given the opportunity to disclose all material facts to the board of directors. After a disclosure of the financial interest and all material facts and any discussion, the interest person shall leave the board meeting and the remaining directors shall decide if a conflict of interest exists. After exercising due diligence, the board of directors shall determine whether the Foundation can obtain with reasonable efforts a more advantageous transaction or arrangement from a person or entity that would not give rise to a conflict of interest. If a more advantageous transaction or arrangement is not reasonably possible, the directors shall determine by a majority vote of the disinterested directors whether to enter into the transaction or arrangement with the interested person. If the board of directors has reasonable cause to believe a director has failed to disclose actual or possible conflicts of interest, it shall inform the director of the basis for such belief and afford the director an opportunity to explain the alleged failure to disclose. if, after hearing the directors response and after making further investigation as warranted by circumstances, the board of directors determines the director has failed to disclose an actual or possible conflict of interest, it shall take appropriate disciplinary and corrective action. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 The organization makes its governing documents and financial statements available to the public upon request. Financial statements are also available on the organizations website.
