Animals are donated back to the 4-h program, which allows them to generate additional funds for their program. The purchase of these animals assists the youth in saving for their college education and teaches them responsibility and money management. The foundation also buys animals to give to youth of limited financial means and provides feed and training to help youth get into 4-h. In addition, the foundation also provides funding to 4-h and ffa programs for special projects or events.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2024 to 2025, from $1.2M to $1.5M (+23%).
