Why we need your support
Each and every day, WVU Extension Service works to strengthen West Virginia. Through education and outreach programming in the areas of 4-H and youth development; agriculture and natural resources; and family and community development, our experts bring research-based knowledge to encourage know-how, curiosity and innovation to West Virginia in all 55 counties.
WVU Extension Service educators and volunteers help build and sustain collaborations and partnerships with people and organizations throughout the state to improve the lives and communities of West Virginians through the pillars of health, education and prosperity. We invite you to partner with us by investing in the future of West Virginia.
During WVU Day of Giving, WVU Extension Service joins the University in a request for unrestricted support. When you provide a gift to the Dean and Director’s Fund, your local county fund or one of our units’ annual funds, your gift is invested back into our communities for opportunities of growth and impact.
