Funding /
Collaboratives
The "Synopsis of Models for Improving Extension Program Delivery"
document states:
"Almost all the modeling
groups identified a more diversified base of funding as a key to
the future of Extension program delivery. We have included it here
in the synopsis because there was significant agreement on the
need to diversify in a few key areas: increased user-fees; more
local and regional funding; more grants and contracts; and specialized
services to particular industries, organizations or populations.
The modeling groups also agreed that this should be a planned,
purposeful but slow process because of the long-history of CES
providing most of its services without charge. The modeling groups
also cautioned that the greatest needs of the state are often in
areas or among populations least able to afford user fees. Most
of the modeling groups also pointed to the need for improved centralized
support for developing grants and contracts. Several aspects of
the future of funding also appear below among the differences."
