Established in 2003, the Ritchie County 4-H Endowment Fund provides annual unrestricted support to the Ritchie County 4-H Developmental Council

"Based on the Foundation's investment performance, the Ritchie County 4-H Board of Directors felt a long-term permanent support fund through the Foundation was an excellent fit for diversifying the 4-H's income," said Woody Ireland, President of the Ritchie County 4-H Board of Directors at the time.
