Members of the 1905 Society set an example and inspire other 4-H alumni, parents, and friends to make a difference for the youth of Kansas by giving at a leadership level annually. Kansas 4-H began in 1905 because of philanthropy and the belief in Kansas youth. Youth were given loans for livestock through a “pay it forward” model of philanthropy. They learned responsibility and the importance of philanthropy. Now, over a century later, members of 1905 Society carry on the tradition of philanthropy within Kansas 4-H and inspire youth to continue developing and growing into true leaders tomorrow. By giving $1,000 more annually through one or multiple gifts, you will be recognized as a 1905 Society member on a display at Rock Springs 4-H Center, in publications and in our online Honor Roll. Giving totals are counted based on the calendar year. Honor the philanthropic roots of Kansas 4-H and invest in tomorrow’s leaders, by becoming a member of the 1905 Society.
