Analysis of critical components of state 4-H foundations

The purpose of the study was to identify successful characteristics and activities of state 4-H foundations which appear successful in fundraising and compare those who are not as successful. The population for this study was state 4-H foundation executive directors who held their position in spring 2005 and a random sample of state 4-H foundation trustees. There was a substantial relationship with foundations having a strategic plan and the amount of monies raised. Also a strong relationship with monetary goals and higher level of total financial support and a significant correlation between 4-H foundations that have conducted a capital campaign and a higher level of total support.
