Extension Foundation 2023 Annual Report

PESTICIDE SAFETY EDUCATION FUNDS MANAGEMENT PROGRAM

Throughout 2023, the PSEFMP program was in a No-Cost Extension. During this time the Extension Foundation largely saw the wrapping up of administrative tasks. Over the course of the last five years, the Extension Foundation has consistently provided funds to 52 Land-grant universities and provided over $4.8M in program funds to Pesticide Safety Education Programs. Because of the success the Extension Foundation experienced during this funding period, we were successful in securing funding for another cooperative agreement with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for an additional five years totaling up to $15M dollars, triple the amount of the previous cooperative agreement. In the Fall of 2023, the first RFAs went out for Extension Pesticide Safety Education Programs.
