UCCE Marin Annual Report 2008 - Funding and Volunteers

Funding and Volunteers

Funding Sources

Our programs operate through a unique partnership between the County of Marin, the UC system, support from the USDA, and other private funds. Backed by the resources of the UC campuses, our educational programs use practically applied research information to solve community problems. We consult with individuals and organizations, publish newsletters, conduct local applied research, produce information for mass media, and conduct seminars and workshops. For every $1 the county contributes, other sources contribute $4.
