4. Benefits of the Indiana 4-H Foundation
Allows Indiana 4-H the flexibility to:
actively fundraise and promote 4-H to outside audiences because the Foundation has it’s own not-for-profit status
process and distribute monies that the University cannot or does not want to handle (example: License Plates, Tractor Supply-Paper Clover)
give scholarships to deserving youth that want to attend post-secondary institutions other than Purdue

What are Planned Gifts?
Planned gifts are referred to as such because they require more planning, negotiation and counsel than an outright gift. Planned gifts involve an arrangement between a donor and a non-profit organization, whereby the donor takes a partial tax deduction for the gift and then receives an income stream from the non-profit.

8. Boone and Fayette County Example
Excellent example of how we can all work together and make a big impact on the future of 4-H.
Potential donor contacted Tony Carrell and Dr. Hibberd to express her desire to speak with someone about making a gift
Tony and I met and discussed background, ideas and options
Over many months and meetings, an endowment document was created using resources at Purdue
Donors wishes were that 80% go to 4-H program in Boone and Fayette Counties and 20% go to need based scholarships

I have children and relatives. Shouldn’t I leave my entire estate to them?
This is perhaps the number one cause for reluctance when making a bequest. The truth is that, depending on the current tax laws, leaving a gift to charity in your will may reduce the estate tax burden on your heirs significantly. You should consult with a financial advisor or attorney to learn how giving may actually benefit your family after you’re gone.
