Charitable Status of 4-H
From time to time, potential donors to 4-H programs may ask for documentation of the 4-H program having 501 (c)(3) charitable status as administered by the Internal Revenue Service.
The USDA explains the status of 4-H in a publication entitled “Tax-Exempt Status of 4-H Organizations Authorized to Use the 4-H Name and Emblem,” which can be obtained from the National 4-H website.
Appendix A on page 12 of the publication contains a reprint of a letter to Edwin L. Kirby from the IRS regarding the charitable status of 4-H organizations. Providing a copy of this letter to those who request proof of 501(c)(3) status is generally sufficient documentation. View the letter.
