The Extension Foundation is a nonprofit organization that works in partnership with Cooperative Extension to enhance and expand its programs and services. With a mission to generate a more visible and measurable local impact, the Foundation supports and collaborates with Land-grant Universities across the nation. The Cooperative Extension System (CES) is a network of university and county-based Extension employees, along with over 2 million volunteers, who bring science-based resources and non-formal educational programs to communities.

CES helps people solve problems, develop skills, and build a better future where they live and work. The Extension Foundation provides professional development opportunities to Cooperative Extension professionals and offers exclusive services to its members. Through nationally funded programs and partnerships with federal agencies, the Foundation helps Extension programs scale, investigate new methods, and make a significant impact on local issues.
