Excellence in Extension

This is OUR TIME. To Serve. To Lead. To Grow. Through the Extension in Excellence Fund, you can help us meet the grand challenges Missourians have asked us to help solve. Your gifts help address economic opportunity, educational access and excellence, and health and well-being for the benefit of all Missourians.

Program funds

Animal Cruelty Education Fund (Law Enforcement Training Institute)

The Clover Fund (Missouri 4-H Foundation)

Kids are fast learners, and they can learn more, faster and further with hands-on learning experiences. 4-H is the nation's largest youth development organization, which gives kids the opportunity to learn-by-doing—building the leadership, independence and life skills they need today to succeed in life and career. Be an Inspiration. Your donation to The Clover Fund makes it possible for the Missouri 4-H Foundation to provide educational resources, train volunteers, award college scholarships and grow strong future leaders.

Community Emergency Management Gift Fund (Missouri Extension Disaster Education Network)

Missouri SBDC

The Missouri SBDC (Small Business Development Centers) exists to help business owners, founders, and entrepreneurs understand and overcome obstacles to success at all stages of their business's lifecycle. The Missouri SBDC serves as support through quality personalized, one-on-one assistance that goes beyond one conversation. The SBDC offers an ongoing relationship to help get the information needed for owners to make confident decisions and help their business succeed.

Your donation to the Missouri SBDC supports professional, high-quality services, helps to reach new clients, and provide resources for aspiring entrepreneurs, founders, and existing business owners throughout the state.

County endowment and gift funds

Join us in our mission by becoming a supporter of University of Missouri Extension in your county.

We are doing great things, but we need your help in order to continue! MU Extension utilizes programming to address current educational needs and emerging community needs. These emerging needs include an abundant and safe food supply, profitable plant and animal production systems, youth and family development, and improved community economic wealth and health. Thousands of adults and youth benefit from programs such as nutrition classes; economic and community development; 4‑H’s “learn-by-doing” projects, activities and camps; and The Master Gardener Volunteer Help Line.

Help us sustain our mission by giving to the gift fund or to the endowment fund, if available. Your endowment gift helps provide sustaining support for addressing economic opportunity, educational access and excellence, and health and well-being for the benefit of all the citizens in the county.

MU Extension has been meeting the needs of Missouri counties since 1914. By joining and becoming a supporter, you’ll help strengthen these important programs today. Thank you for becoming a supporter of MU Extension!
