Support CCE Monroe’s Vital Programs

At Cornell Cooperative Extension of Monroe County (CCE Monroe), we are on the front lines of supporting our community through hands-on nutrition education, youth and family outreach, and workforce development. These programs change lives, from helping families stretch their food dollars and eat healthier, to preparing teens and adults for long-term success in the workforce.

But to keep these programs strong and accessible, we need your help.

CCE Monroe is not funded by Cornell University. A modest 30% of our budget comes from government support, our main partner being Monroe County (for which we are incredibly thankful), the remaining 70% relies on competitive grants, contracts, and donations from people like you. 

Your donation can help ensure that:

• Kids and families continue to receive trusted nutrition and health education
• Youth are connected to opportunities that inspire them and build critical life skills
• Local residents gain the tools and training they need to thrive in today’s workforce

Together, we can make sure Monroe County families aren’t left behind. Every gift brings us closer to a healthier, more resilient community.

How to Donate:

• Donate to CCE Monroe
• A legacy gift made to the Friends of Extension Foundation to support our future
  • Consider a donation to ensure long-term sustainability of our workforce development program such as GROWS through an endowment held with the Friends of Extension Foundation.
• Designate CCE-Monroe on your United Way form
  • United Way ID #2206

Thank you for your support!
