Who We Are

It is time to grow in Kansas State University Extension, Wildcat District! You can help be part of this process by supporting the Wildcat Extension Education Foundation, which is a 501(c)3 organization dedicated to supporting local extension programming efforts.

The Wildcat Extension Education Foundation mission is to enhance the Wildcat Extension District's efforts to build strong communities through enduring financial support for research-based education and collaboration.

Your contributions benefit the Wildcat District (Crawford, Labette, Montgomery, and Wilson counties) by helping extend information into the hands of our residents and continue to improve the quality of life for your family, friends and neighbors. This year, we are setting our goal even higher – we want to increase financial support for adult and youth educational opportunities across our district in every discipline –from 4-H to Community Vitality, Agriculture to Family and Consumer Sciences – including registration fees, program material costs, etc. Your tax-deductible contribution of any amount will directly support low or no-cost, unbiased programs and activities to help improve the lives and livelihoods of our families.

Wildcat District Extension programs have a critical impact on local quality of life, youth development, leadership and healthy lives. The future of local Extension programs depends on local donations. We will help you structure your gift or endowment so that Extension programs are supported for years to come.


Match Day 2025

Match Day is a fundraising campaign to help local nonprofit organizations increase their endowed funds and build sustainability. The Wildcat District Education Foundation is participating in Match Day with three different foundations. On the designated day, community members have the opportunity to build the endowment of local organization funds through contributions.

Your donation will be matched and transfered to the Wildcat Extension Foundation's general fund! Thank you for your donation(s) that support the future of educational programs provided to improve the livelihoods of Kansans.
