Empowering Cooperative Extension Through Membership

The Extension Foundation strengthens Cooperative Extension by expanding capacity, accelerating innovation, and amplifying impact. Through membership, Land-grant Universities gain access to tailored services, powerful tools, and a national network of support that enhances their ability to serve communities.

But membership is more than access—it’s an investment in the entire system.

Membership Fuels Systemwide Impact

Membership funding is leveraged to support nationally funded programs that deliver resources, funding opportunities, and capacity-building services directly back to the Cooperative Extension System. These programs accelerate innovation, scale promising programs, and increase visibility and support for the work happening in every state and territory.

By supporting the Extension Foundation through membership, your institution helps strengthen the entire system.
