Who
We Are
The North Dakota State University Extension Service exists to serve the
people of North Dakota. The Cooperative Extension System was
established in 1914 to address through education critical needs of the
public in the areas of agriculture, family and youth. The work of
the Extension Service continues to be extremely important to producers,
families, community leaders and young people. Extension maintains a
unique relationship among federal, state and county constituents.
Local input into programs, combined with support and funding from state
and federal partners, enables the Extension Service to truly meet the
needs of people.
Our Mission
To create learning partnerships that help adults and youth enhance their
lives and communities.
Our Funding
Traditional funding of the NDSU Extension Service has been a blend of federal,
state and
county
dollars. In the past few years, grant
dollars and agency partnerships have increased. Today, about 23
percent of the budget is comprised of federal dollars, most of which are
appropriated funds. In the future, we will have to compete for more
of our federal funds. Nearly 44 percent of NDSU Extension Service
resources are obtained from the state legislature. And county
commissioners support about 20 percent of the Extension budget included in
this is a segment of the Extension agents' salaries as well as all
operating expenses for county offices. The remainder of Extension
funding comes from grants, contracts and partnerships.
