Right Here, For Our Community

Since 1913, Cornell Cooperative Extension Ulster County has been a go-to resource for our community. We are a core civic institution that translates cutting-edge research from Cornell University into free and low-cost programs for real people. That means free programs for farmers working to improve soil health, grandparents navigating raising their grandkids, neighbors protecting streams, families trying to eat healthier on a tight budget, and more.

Why Your Support Matters Now

Right now, we're facing serious funding cuts to programs our community depends on. Your donation during this local 24-hour fundraiser directly supports the people and places you care about! Last year alone, we provided programming and educational resources to 23,952 people and provided 2,848 kids with hand-on learning they couldn't get anywhere else.
