Donate to Penn State Extension

The great work of Penn State Cooperative Extension is currently funded through state and federal funds, grants, fees, and gifts. All donations to Penn State Cooperative Extension, from endowments and bequests to annual cash gifts and gifts in-kind, are important to extending our reach to all the people of Pennsylvania.

Gifts of all sizes may be made to Cooperative Extension programs by individuals, corporations, associations, and foundations. These private investments strengthen the mission of Penn State Cooperative Extension, which strives to improve the health, well-being and security of youth, families and communities; conserve and enhance natural resources; and strengthen agriculture and food systems across the Commonwealth and beyond.

Private giving is vital to securing and strengthening Cooperative Extension programs.
