Give Now to the Washington 4-H Know Your Government Conference
Know Your Government (KYG) is a civic education program with a four-year rotating topic: The Legislative System, The Judicial System, Elections and Party Platforms, and Politics and the Media. In 2023 we will explore the topic of Politics and the Media. KYG is much more than learning about how the Legislative process works. KYG and 4-H are about learning the life skills our delegates will need to be responsible citizens and productive adults.

Creating an Endowment
Endowments are a particularly powerful investment in Washington State’s 4-H Youth Development Program’s future because they deliver a dependable, perpetual source of funding. The WSU Foundation Endowment is composed of nearly 2,000 restricted funds established by donors for specific purposes, such as named scholarships or professorships. Endowed funds are unique in that the gift is invested. Each year, a percentage of the endowment’s 36-month rolling average is distributed to benefit the University. The rest is re-invested to ensure growth, maintaining the fund’s spending power far into the future. In this respect, an endowment is intended to be a perpetual gift.
For more information about creating an endowment, please contact Britta Nitcy at 509-335-6479 or nitcy@wsu.edu, Once you decide to create an endowment, Nick will work closely with you to help define the features of your endowment to meet both your wishes and the needs of the Washington State 4-H Youth Development Program.
